See, both
report
andrecord
signify different things in my mind. The original code was justprint
ing to stdout.In my mind
logMissingData
makes more sense because it's not actively sending anything; it's just logging.I agree that report and record are different. To me record means it's preserved in some managed way.
This makes it sound like the intent goes beyond logging, but not so far as recording. That's how I come to 'report' as the correct verb.
