You snipped two remarks into one - I didn't say that.

That's my point - the usage case that was suggested was "where's the
start button", my point is that the user mightn't know what a start
button is.  Those who do will understand its purpose, so referring to
its purpose rather than its name is clearer to both groups.

Again, I'm not adding the slides, I'm proffering documentation team advice.
