And here we change the structure of the software, not its behavior. The author says it’s like refactoring and tidyings are a help to refactoring. A separate term appeared because refactoring is now often referred to as those changes that change the behavior of the program, and the author wants to clearly distinguish this.

And I've already played this game with my sons several times, where players have to act as detectives and track down, calculate, and catch a fox by the tail before it runs to its burrow. Through our moves, we search for suspects, study evidence, and use a special decryptor to determine what evidence our cunning man had.
