I agree that would be more understandable, or self explanatory and like you,
I'd prefer it. Unfortunately the SPG is one of those "industry terms".

Likewise, I did plain language explanations of technical subjects for
degreed people in management or those in non technical fields. Here that
leaves me between plain language and using the proper term. It's much like
using Hertz for frequency instead of the self explanatory, cycles per
second. IOW it requires an explanation or definition for those not used to
it.
