I'm not especially keen on the term save-scumming since it could be applied to any degree of keeping savegames beyond the slightly puritanical approach of games like Fable or "die once and delete". Then again, I'm also not keen on the idea of reloading 'til you get what you want, though I couldn't give a jot what other players do, it's more a case of random outcomes that often suck and repeated reloads are the only recourse. Speaking as someone with a weirdly innate ability to roll ones constantly.
But whatever I feel about the method and its terminology, I feel a lot more irksome about busybodying someone else's single-player game strategy...
