It takes one form and changes it, and puts it to use somewhere else. If you could regenerate energy then you breaking Einstein's law of conservation of energy. That is why it is a huge problem (when describing something as complex as KERS) if that specific word is used instead of recover.
BTW since you attempted to go all, I'm smart I know Hyperbole. Hyperbole is always inaccurate. It is a speech tool used to show a strong feel towards something it is not meant to be taken literally. Saying inaccurate hyperbole is like using a double negative. It makes you sound like a moron. I wasn't trying to create an argument here. I was trying to alert the OP that he should take everything he hears from the people posting with a grain of salt.
