I agree that it was amazing and super cool! Rather it's just a comment on the relevance of the name to the actual attack, contorted to the purpose of a cool acronym.

Just to stoke some fires, I think poodle is also in that bag.

The comment isn't wrong about the name, I'm just compelled to say how awesome DROWN is every time it's mentioned anywhere. It's really spectacular work.
