Hey thanks for the comment! I don't think I ever said that NP was an abbreviation for "non-polynomial" although I guess that could be inferred by a reader since I never explicitly said what it stood for.

I did kind of address the deterministic vs non-deterministic aspect of P v NP in the P.S section without explicitly naming the terms I was talking about. I can understand what you're saying and you're right I chose to leave some things out to make it more digestible and because I felt like a rough knowledge of the concepts was enough to understand the larger point.
