I'm highly skeptical of this claim. Can you back it up?

Yes, but the point actually being made is that the name GNU (GNU's Not Unix) is esoteric && dated. Notwithstanding the org's prior accomplishments of course.

The name "GNU" and its abhorrent pronunciation has been such a branding failure on the part of the free software movent.
Yet, the creators continue to wonder why those outside the tech world approach these issues with a high level of apathy.
A movement filled with in-jokes and "geeky humor" will never gain the support from the general public desperately needed for real change.
