I think I basically agree with this. I definitely generally think of it as the jargonist’s job to come up with jargon that has a decent shot at weathering the forces of conversational pressure, and if you want an oddly specific term it’s better to name it something that sounds oddly specific. (This still doesn’t reliably work, people will shoehorn the oddly-specific jargon into things to sound smart, but it makes it less plausibly deniable)
I like “gigayear impact” or something similar.
I do think it’s still helpful to have the concept of guarded terms.
