Couldn't agree more. This kind of misunderstanding is also described in Brewer's paper "CAP twelve years later: How the "rules" have changed" (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6133253/).

This is a fantastic article that every engineer who touches a distributed system should read. The simplistic CAP understanding hurts systems by forcing the choice before it needs to be made; i.e. we can (sometimes) have our cake and eat it too.
