[Star Wars] Why are the Sith referred to as Dark Jedi rather than Sith in Zahn's Thrawn trilogy?

Because there's a distinction. Sith are sith, but a jedi, who falls to the Dark side of the Force is a Dark Jedi. Not every darksider with a lightsaber is a sith, after all. So in Thrawn Trilogy Joruus C'Baoth is exactly a dark jedi, being fully convinced that he's a jedi master and not actually a mad darksider clone. Although, as we saw later on, original C'Baoth also was quite a piece of work, but at least he kept his shit together long enough to get grey in his hair.
