Names make things easier to discuss, acknowledge, and try to maintain personal awareness of.



But there is no need to use the name of a guy to describe the problem. It's like naming hacking the principle of Zuck


Zuckerberg-ing (sometimes) refers (jokingly) to the practice of co-founding a business with someone and then screwing the other founder out of their share of the business. I’m not familiar with any other name for that but it’s a useful one as far as colloquial definitions go.


So because you don't like this naming scheme no name should be allowed at all?
