Preciseness is extremely important. How many people are on social media right now calling the people who entered the Capitol terrorists because they assumed they carried bombs into the building?!

They are terrorists, insurrectionist, and seditionists, regardless.

There were bombs very near, critically near, the Capitol itself.

There may plausibly have been explosives within the Capitol, a circumstance which is operationally significant if not precisely knowable.

Hairsplitting is pedantic.
