True, the variable name could change. I agonized over the wording
as well. The button has multiple uses, like the one you mentioned, but
I couldn't come up with something that described what it actually does
without it being longer than I wanted. For savvy users, they understand
what is going on behind the scenes and know whether or not to choose
that button, but describing what is happening to others is trickier.
