JA: The move from [[Reflection (computer science)]] to [[Computational reflection]] was ill-advised (if advised at all). Analogous considerations have come up many times before, for example, with all discipline-specific usages in mathematics, for instance, [[Group (mathematics)]] versus [[Mathematical group]]. If you think a little bit ahead ([[Partial lookahead (computer science)]]), you will perhaps see what kind of mess you are getting into with this strategy for disambiguation.

:I did not do it as a means of disambiguation but because "Computational Reflection" is a more formal name to the technique. Calling it "reflection" is a colloquialism and the word "computational" is dropped only when referring to something such as "reflective programming" or "reflective system", but if the technique is mentioned, it is always formally introduced as "Computational Reflection", even though it might be referred to as "reflection" only.
