Even though I very much liked that article (even reviewed it at my blog¹
and for ACM's “Computing Reviews”²), that does not make it a better word
than other technical terms describing conditions that have fell out of
favor because they have spread more as derogatory terms than anything
else.

² https://www.computingreviews.com/review/review_review.cfm?review_id=147892&listname=todaysissuearticle

Technical terms or not, words like this carry a heavy load, and will make
supporters of bullshit-generating systems feel mocked upon.
