Rationale for change

Displacement is more accurate to the definition of work. Being honest, I don't have a slam dunk source that says this exactly, but work is usually shown as force applied over a distance, and depends on displacement to determine work, not distance (work is path independent). In the Khan Academy video linked in the note he just uses force over distance as a definition, but no reference to motion.
