You're right, of course. This terminological issue doesn't matter much to me
(I'm just taking a break from real work...), and much less to Joe Bloggs,
who thinks all our more esoteric debates are irrelevant. But he's wrong.
Some micro issues - like the differences between a virus and a Trojan - may
be totally and perpetually unimportant to him, but they're sometimes
critical to people who actually work with this stuff. I did say sometimes:
context matters. :)

That's true. But if they compromise on that issue, we're entitled to wonder
about what other compromises they make. If they don't recognize that it's an
issue at all, that's worse. (Or not. After all, it's all marketing.)
