I quite agree.  "Reform" can have several meanings, depending on context.  But the word "erform", when used in the context of the Catholic Church, conjures up one "reform" that went terribly awry, and so the word is loaded with baggage.  You can reform the curia without reforming the Church.  If that's all that's meant, no problem.  (In fact, GOOD).  Unfortunately, that's not how the word is usually understood when talking about reforming the Church.
