You will see a lot of pistons in various stages of decline from fully seized to just coating flaking off. Unfortunately we get through so many we have scrapped many previous ones and these are just what we have dealt with in the last few weeks.

You can see why just calling it scored bores is minimising the problem (for every scored bore there is a badly seized piston face), why calling it "picking up" is also minimising the level of damage, and that the cylinder damage is low down towards the hottest part of the cylinder (as the coolant depth is very shallow).
