That's precedence about like "I used the term 'wimps' in a poster
paper once, so now you should allow me to use 'wimps' in my
Astrophysical Journal article."

True story. Weakly Interacting Massive Particles. Which in turn
spawned MACHOs, MAssive Compact Halo Objects. Fun, but not the way to
do software engineering.

Hint: did you ever hold a discussion as to whether or not that was the
right transport-neutral name?
