By OCP definition, any data that was processed (seen/touched) by a
callout server is "adapted", regardless of whether data bytes remained
unchanged. The idea is that just seeing (hence, possibly copying or
exporting) the data is sufficiently important to be traced/etc. In
other words, in OCP context, seeing data is as important as modifying
data.
Whatever word we choose, the problem you mention will persist, I
guess. The only solution may be to go back to "input/output"
terminology which I think we already rejected for other reasons.
