I know these 2 are technically the same.

We don't like that to happen.

But I just think saying "undiscriminating drop"
is much more specific, to the point.

Every time I see or hear "tail drop", I have to
translate it to "undiscriminating drop" to
make sense to myself.

"tail drop" is the physical appearance and can
happen in different setting and mean different
things.

"undiscriminating drop" is just plain straight
forward that we want to prevent.
