This has already been solved well-enough with AuthN and AuthZ as distinct names.

I have literally never seen anyone ever use those terms and also note they both truncate to Auth.

Never change programming/maths in holding onto terrible naming conventions and making really hard stuff even harder to understand (CQRS anyone?)

people still dont understand the difference. "you do iam but what about controllong access" comes in all the time.

words dont really matter all that much. people use them because it makes them sound like they know what it is, and if its important and complex, usually have no clue.

ive seen enough "abac" where the attribute is "your login name"
