It does? I mean, I’ve used a lot of hard drives and never had one whip another or resell it to punish a friend for disobedience. I’ve also never heard of an enslaved person being put in charge after the plantation master died.

Insisting on using inaccurate terms when better ones exist is a political stance which raises questions about the motives behind putting so much effort into opposing something which costs you nothing.

Yeah, the amount of energy arguing about not changing the terminology; which can be changed to better reflect what it is, is mind boggling.

I can understand arguing what terminology should be used instead. Those arguments tend to be way more civil discussions and don't last long, and a way better set of terminology is set.

Yeah, that’s a much better conversation because it often flushed out that the same terms were being used for things which weren’t quite the same (hot failover, read-replica, etc.) and someone who has more experience with one tool won’t think a different one works the same way.

What energy? It's not like we're hosting rallies or founding political parties on this.
