I have to assume recovery still does what it is supposed to do.

"Geeky" is relative: my daughter, who's a certified Mac tech, calls me a geek.

tacit and V1 are both exceptionally knowledgeable, but tacit's writing tends to be more approachable...more easily digestible than V1's.

Your assumption is correct; "recovery", as V1 used it, means recovery of deleted data, not recovery in the sense of restoring your OS.
