This battle is not lost. If we call it the right name and talk to the press using the right terms, it is not lost yet. Maybe it should be, but it is really confusing when it gets to the professional community.
"0-day" is two syllables. "unpatched vulnerability" is a lot more. And when the syllable count matters to get it into a 6 second sound bite, you *certainly* don't have time to explain the difference, or why it matters.
