I disagree with your hard disagree.

Because I don't give a shit about who discovered something allegedly first. I do care about what it means/does. Maybe it's a language problem, because some languages make it more easy to add words into a new word describing that new thing.

edit: Otherwise it's just protocol overhead, line noise, gibberish to me.

Any name given to object is necessarily going to be an incomplete description of said object. It's a tradeoff between the length of the description and the precision of the description. If you want to know what the object does you can look up its definition.
