It is written by burning into the media. Without being pedantic. How
else do you think it is "written"? We could say "melted" but we dont -
the word used is "burned".

Don't agree. That is one incorrect interpretation of what the word means
in the context of CD/DVD media. The "burning" process references the
laser burning into the material, not it "destroying" the medium.
