I think you are confusing the people in the industry with the marketing
folks. What people actually talk about in the industry and write about in
papers bears very little connection to the stuff that falls out of the mouths
of marketing people and appears in advertisements.

I find it kind of arrogant and long-nosed, to be honest.

Mike doesn't like the phrase because, really, it -is- just a made-up marketing
word for something that already has a perfectly good technical word that
has been used for many decades.

I am okay with the phrase because I view the marketing people as just
something we all have to live with. I only get offended when they make
up words that have no actually valid concepts behind them, which happens
often enough. Or words like "balanced power" which are deliberately intended
to sound like something they aren't.
