I'll split the difference, folks in operational security dislike the term as they
feel it's inaccurate.  They tend to think it's marketing vs operational related.

Reflection attacks are considered a sub-type of DoS/DDoS and do not require a new
term.  It's the same problem folks have with absolute terms like "Unlimited Data"
with the asterisk.

Can I direct the knife-fights about that part off-list? :)  (and preferably exclude me,
i get enough email).
