While we're at it ("it" being criticising FFG's word templating), I keep finding awkard the whole "discard / flip faceup" deal. They're two very different terminologies, intuitively unrelated to each other: in any game, if you "discard" something, you take it and place it in a different, specific area (usually a discard pile); it's a concept strongly ingrained in game terminology because it came from very old card games. There's nothing in it that makes you associate it with flipping cards face down, the act of flipping a card and the act of discarding a card have nothing in common. It's baffling how they've become related here. They could have used any generic term, like "deactivate", and then instruct the player to flip a card face down when it's deactivated, face up when it's reactivated.
