I'm starting to feel like the most viable path out of the misuse of "ZK" is to just use the word "proof" to refer to a validity proof where you don't care about revealing the full information.

And just favor "rollup" over "ZK rollup", and "EVM proof / prover / proving" over "ZK-EVM", where practical.

we nerds only care about all this anyways normies will never read ZK or proof and think more than 1 miliseconds about how they don't gaf

i don’t understand most of the words you just said, who is zk and why do they have something to prove? — jack handey
