Hyper-preterism is wrong, but orthodox (or "partial preterism," if you must) is well founded in the events of 70 A.D.

I prefer to use the word "preterist" to describe the historical position that Olivet was mostly fulfilled in 70 AD. Let those who wrongly claim that all prophecy is fulfilled call themselves by their proper label, hyper-preterist.

Kinda like Calvinism. We don't call ourselves "partial" calvinists in order to avoid being identified with hyper-Calvinists. In the same way neither do I think that orthodox preterists need to retreat from the word preterist as though it meant the same thing as the heretical hyper-preterists teach.
