I'm in favor of using consistent terminology, but this:

is just tautology: it doesn't really explain what is STANDARD, except
by using the same word, which is too general to explain itself.
So if we want to use this, and consider that an improvement, I think
it would be good to explain some more what "standard value" means or
is.
Thanks.
