I'm really not at all interested in people explaining to me how finding mentions of back doors in technology used in millions of computers is probably OK because it may mean something else.
Given US security apparatus clearly values and desire these back doors and have the necessary power to coerce companies to making them, generalizing the use of "back door" as a term for debugging or w/e seems almost expected.
Even if they are for debugging "oops it's on in production!" is a great cover because none of these companies will EVER admit back doors were required by the government.
