Comment:

 Thanks for the ticket!

 Unfortunately, with functions like `wp_create_nonce()`,
 `wp_verify_nonce()`, or `wp_nonce_field()` being used
 [https://wpdirectory.net/search/01EAQ1EXDST2FJ0ZRPMPV5N9ZK 100,000+ times
 in 16,000+ plugins] and
 [https://wpdirectory.net/search/01EAQ1STGXM7FJ170KWQZ6APX4 7,000+ in 2,000
 themes], it doesn't seem like replacing them would be feasible.

 We could look into changing the output messages, however, as you
 mentioned, that would introduce confusion as to what the messages are
 referring to.
