 ### Name steps deterministically
 
-Steps should be named deterministically (even if dynamic). This  ensures that their state is cached, and prevents the step from being rerun unnecessarily. Step names act as the "cache key" in your Workflow.
+Steps should be named deterministically (ie, not using the current date/time, randomness, etc). This  ensures that their state is cached, and prevents the step from being rerun unnecessarily. Step names act as the "cache key" in your Workflow.
