Including this is a bit intellectually dishonest IMO. c.f. "To skip", one dictionary meaning of which is "to omit or disregard intermediate items or stages", which mirrors the original Nordic meaning exactly. I feel using the "refrain from doing" wording here is an attempt to exaggerate the difference.
