I noticed that.  We constantly refer to talk pages as "talk pages", and 
yet somebody in his wisdom chose to use "Discussion" in the link.  There 
is a certain level of synonymy between "talk" and "discuss", but someone 
who has been told to go to the "talk page" will respond to that 
instruction very literally, and look for a very specific link. Even more 
so if he is a newby or not a native English speaker.
