Hemi,
what you call it doesn't change what it is.
but it might change what you decide to do about it.
It's kinda like, if there is a backpack...or a pair of shoes...or whatever it may be and it's laying on the floor and you trip over it, wouldn't it make sense to move (or remove) it? Why would you leave it there to repeatedly risk your safety?
sure. makes sense to remove it.
makes more sense to figure out how not to leave stuff to trip over in the first place, though. which is why you'll often hear people recommend making/following a plan.
