Except that dominates is (if I understand correctly) the appropriate
term-of-art. Being clear is important, but you should also be clear
to people who understand the technical properties of the discussion.
Iventing new terms or avoiding the use of well-established terms that
say what you mean tends to confuse technically minded people and leads
to incorrect text if you happen to get the definitions for your new
terms wrong.
