Sure, okay. I am happy to grant that the state of unresponsiveness it maintains after seeming to power down and before before it enters the reboot process is not fully identical to a state of complete power off, as with any computer reboot versus powerdown.
Can we both grant that maybe it is nonetheless a valid troubleshooting step? Possibly more helpful than what any of the other comments in this thread have offered?
(I'm as big a fan of pedantry as anyone, but it has its place, you know? To hopefully reduce the gravity of the crime of idiomatic rather than technical phrasing, I've added a note to the offending comments.)
