20 years is a long time sure, but I don’t think would be good argument for keeping it! (I understand you’re likely just describing, not justifying)
Motte & bailey has a major disadvantage of “nobody who hears it for the first time has any understanding of what it means”
Even as someone who knows the concept, I’m still not even 100% positive that motte and bailey do in fact mean “overclaim and retreat” respectively
People are welcome to use the terms they want, of course. But I’d think there should be a big difference between M&B and some simpler name in order to justify M&B
