I would say because ultimately it is just a shorthand/buzzword/brand. The theorom itself is kind of tautological, but it provides a simple starting point for talking about trade-offs.
Unfortunately and inevitably things are a bit more complicated than a model simplified to 3 words so it has also generated its fair share of confusion.
- ownagefool 11y agoI don't think you can blame the theorom for the confusion. It's the trade-offs that are murky and complicated, CAP just tells us that there's a need to care about the dirty details. Anyway being able to use CAP to beat down the developer who wants to use the new webscale shiny that doesn't even begin to discuss or document tradeoffs is a net win in my opinion.
