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.

Well, well, well, if it isn't another day in the world of crypto jargon! 😅 You're suggesting we ditch the "ZK" prefix and stick with good ol' "proof" when we're not worried about spilling the beans on the full details. Makes sense, considering "proof" is like the Swiss Army knife of cryptographic terms – versatile and adaptable. And yes, let's give "rollup" some love instead of "ZK rollup." After all, who doesn't enjoy a good rollup, especially when it's not hiding any secrets? 🌯 As for "EVM proof / prover / proving" over "ZK-EVM," it's like choosing between a classic, reliable car and a fancy, flashy one. Sometimes, simplicity and clarity win the race. In the end, it's all about making our crypto conversations more understandable and less like a secret handshake society. 🤝
