Novel opinions about what words mean can lead to confusion.  Left
alone, what you said might have confused some readers about what
"materialized" means.  "Materialized view" has been a term of art,
part of database jargon, for over 30 years.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jargon :

"A main driving force in the creation of technical jargon is
precision and efficiency of communication when a discussion must
easily range from general themes to specific, finely differentiated
details without circumlocution."
