I added this comment via Hacker News

"Packet loss" is more interesting to nerds than consumers, who don't know what it means. Arguably it needs a better name.
"Delays due to retransmission" is short enough to fit the label, and is what a packet loss means _to the reader of the label_, rather than to me.

It also includes a number for "typical packet loss": .08%

I miss when we could do a discussion in line with a blog, or via
email, in this case, they post urls to reddit, etc, at the end.
