Interesting article, good principles, but there are no rules until you break
them.

I think you are already inclined to keep “yes” and no” – which I support – but
here are additional arguments for this “habenero” choice.

1. Confirmation box only comes for modified documents (i.e., an intended action
is interrupted, which is not always interrupted).
2. User has already chosen to reload (with File▸Reload), and (critically) has
probably already decided why reload is wanted. In effect, the confirmation box
is asking to “confirm” a decision made BEFORE getting to that box. (a little
different than a typical Rule 1 situation, where a new choice is introduced)
3.  Two decisions are being made in this confirmation (saving/reloading). Hard
to reduce to “one (clear) action verb” (per Rule 1)
Will “Save Changes” also “Reload”? (violates Rule 3! “Users need to know the
result of their actions”)

With support from Rule 3, “yes” for “yes/no/cancel”
