Terminology jumps away from principle's subject ("Use care when exposing identifying information about devices") #479

This relates to #470

@cynthia pointed out that:

Aside from terminology jumping away from principle subject would likely confuse the reader, this looks good.

The issue is that we talk about ensuring that apps are unable to distinguish between user rejection of permission to use a sensor/device, and that sensor/device not being present, which may surprise the reader, as the topic of permissions isn't signposted by the principle's title.

We merged the PR, but wanted to keep track of this issue.
