seems like you've missed the point, if you think I'm making your point for you – your point seems to be pedantic, semantic, and grounded in your personal opinions. Your feelings about derisiveness just underscore what I mean: the complaints are pure opinion and self-righteous indignation, devoid of substance.

the term "non-technical" is used because it is useful (notwithstanding your personal interpretation of it to mean "knows literally nothing about any technology"), so what term do you suggest we IT professionals use which conveys the same information in an equal or shorter length? Consider providing people an alternative they think is better if you personally don't like the language they're using, vs. just feeling upset and complaining.
