 # In this example, we illustrate the difference between single-target and Pareto
 # optimization under laboratory conditions provided by a pair of synthetic targets.
 # In particular:
-# * We set up two root mean square target functions with different center points,
+# * We set up two quadratic target functions with different center points,
 # * visualize the corresponding Pareto frontier,
 # * and compare the recommendations obtained by optimizing the targets individually
 #   and jointly.
