Why is there no term for abolished X?

PATO has a quality named "abolished". We consider abolished to be the limit case of decreased. Use decreased X.

Why would you describe a complete loss as decreased X, which a child of X positive?

Example:

  • decreased motility is a child of motile
  • decreased catalase activity is a child of catalase activity

Why not use the non-X term, e.g. nonmotile or catalase negative
