It's not just about critical bugs though. Those are "stop what you're doing and get on it". ANY bug that is not critical gets worked on next no matter what. So it's about all bugs getting priority over other work.

It's akin to an immune system. When a bug is found, it's attacked until it's dead.

I really appreciate this feedback. As there are a few people that the phrase is rubbing up the wrong way, I'll meditate on it a little and see what I come up with.

I understand; but it's hard for some convenient phrase to cover every aspect of the process. So in the end there has to be some understanding that it's the name of some process that has more aspects than just the literal meaning. (Just like "Zero Bugs").
