No, I'm not conflating "a" with "b". I'm using stability exactly as it's used in physics.

My point is, it's a completely valid use of the word. And yes, so is reliable, though I think "reliable" fails to capture the essence of the system changing but maintaining it's state, hence why we don't study "reliable systems" in physics.
I recommend picking something else to be pedantic about.
