The difference in the two statements is that the first implies an inequality, whereas the second implies an equality. The fact that people are voting for their favourite term and not all agreeing suggests to me that these terms mean different things to different people and that implies confusion and ambiguity to me. So I would favour "50th percentile" because it is accurate, unambiguous, it will have to be defined in the glossary, and it will force users to appreciate something about probabilistic projections. Sir Brian did suggest that it was important to retain "accuracy" in the terminology and not sacrifice it for the sake of "democracy". I think that comment should be given a lot of weight.
