Great update! My suggestion would be to avoid recycling terms such as "efficient" and "useless triangle", even if this is how you call these concepts in your mind. It can only lead to confusion down the road if different people adopt the same terms to mean different things. How about "strong" or "influential" or "effective" instead of "efficient"? And I'm not sure where the triangle metaphor comes from; does that concept necessarily need its own name? Selinger (talk) 14:36, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
