# To "saturate" in everyday use means to ''add'' to something, whereas in this mathematical sense it means to ''remove'' something, which can be very confusing. We suggest an effective way to look at it is that saturating is accomplished not by adding more information into the container but rather by shrinking the container itself so that it has no wasted capacity, and thereby attains a saturated state, but still feel that this is a bit of a stretch.

# The most common everyday usage of that word is for "saturated fats", which are the bad kind of fats, so it has negative associations, despite "saturation" being the ''good'' state for a matrix to be in.

# Furthermore, there is another common but conflicting sense of saturation for matrices which clamps entry values to between -1 and 1<ref>See https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1964814/linear-transformation-of-a-saturated-vector and https://faculty.uml.edu//thu/tcs01-june.pdf</ref>.
