> The exact disciplines are doing themselves a terrible disservice by muddying up established terminology like this

So, what term do propose they use for this? “Hutyfreklop” or “gensym_167336871904” would probably be unique, but wouldn’t tell anything about the subject itself, “roots of polynomials with integer coefficients and a leading coefficient of one” would get cumbersome soon.
