Its great how we can all focus in on one word:-) I infer
that means you're all ok with all the rest of 'em, but
even better if you said that.

Meanwhile I got an offlist suggestion:

OLD
   In particular, the
   term, when used technically, implies nothing about the motivation of
   the bad-actor mounting the attack, who is still called a bad-actor no
   matter what one really thinks about their motivation.

NEW
   In particular, the
   term, when used technically, implies nothing about the motivation of
   the actor mounting the attack.

Which I think is just fine so I've done that in the working version.
