I edited the contents to largely prefer this less assuming terminology, but my attempt to rename the page accordingly was rejected. I can imagine some arguments for preserving "Paradox" in the title (discoverability, historical preservation), but they weren't articulated in the revert message and I'm not sure how to weigh them. So, seeking more input regarding the article's title here.

As such, unless there are objections, I will be reverting the edit from last year that changed almost all instances of the term "Jevons paradox" to "Jevons effect".

Moore's Law, Wright's Law... they are all possessive. The possessive apostrophe seems to be left out in this case simply because this name ends with an S. Am I being too pedantic? It is commonly written w/o the apostrophe. Is there a reason (other than laziness) that to not have the apostrophe?

The issue with using "Jevons effect" (or, as is currently the case, "Jevons' effect") as the primary term for the phenomenon throughout the article is that that term doesn't really appear to be in use. A Google Ngrams search for "rebound effect," "Jevons paradox," and "Jevons effect" reveals a

paradoxical, given the sudden increase in efficiency, but it might have been much worse without those efficiencies, so we certainly have a paradox, but it is not certain the observations were caused by said efficiencies, though they were probably a contributing factor.

Based on what follows, I think it should be something like "contemporary economists have expanded the scope...", but I am not a subject expert. The original appears to be a franken sentence, but I am not sure exactly where the seems are.
