This article seems to use the terms "shares" and "shards" interchangeably to describe the parts in which the secret is split under SSS.
While both seem to be correct, sticking to one term would save a newbie reader (like myself) the confusion.
Since the Wikipedia article that's linked in this article only mentions "shares" and the CLI flags (for recovery keys) also use `-shares`, I opted for that.
