Is too ‘creative’ language acceptable in crystallography?

While figures of speech are often useful and even educational, flashy titles combined with hyperbolae and imprecise language can mislead or deceive non-specialist readers and should therefore be avoided. The possibility of such confusion exists when poorly defined terms like ‘structure quality’ or ‘...
