Specifically, a complicated concept getting simplified to a simpler concept that is easier to spread around culturally. Complicated treatises on when tables are and are not valid are much harder to spread around than "Tables are EVIL!", so the latter has a significant memetic propagation advantage.
The fact that nobody has popped up so far suggests that I may be wrong about an existing term. I'd really have expected a LessWronger or something to speak up by now.
