OK, I can hear that - but well, noone complained till now that --find-copies-harder would sound like "an action to be performed _instead_ of some normal processing".

But most importantly, I don't get much feedback on the direct implication of that choice: are we going to have 2 exact synonyms (--find-copies-harder and --detect-copies-harder) forever, and to what extent (see prev. mail about completion) ?

In the end, I still think the implications for the usability are what matters, more than arguing about a subtle nuance of vocabulary.
