To insist otherwise is to perpetuate the misunderstandings and bad practices that could result in someone being hurt.
Again, you are just rewording what I said. I would not have had to make that post if you remembered to include the "fifth" exit as an option while correcting someone earlier. No one is perfect. Get over your slight and move on.

I will continue to believe there is nothing wrong with saying:take the circle to return to the first exit. It is not a NEW exit. It is an exit the driver missed.

Can you explain what o'clock is exit 5? In new exit terms like your proclaimed fifth exit. I can explain mine: If you miss the 3 o'clock exit while in the left lane, take the circle to return, then exit at 3 o'clock. If you do not have another name for the 3 o'clock exit, your logic is probably wrong.
