The problem is, you're wrong, historically, on what MVP means. The person who coined the phrase intended it to mean something else, and it's meant something else for a few years for anyone who was in the community (who are also the only people who knew the phrase). Now that it's become well-known, people are totally misunderstanding what it stands for and why it was coined in the first place. So sure, you can argue all you want about the term being misnamed, but that doesn't help you or anyone else actually understand what it's about or why it's useful. It's not about building a product - it's about turning the idea of "product" on its head, and realizing that the only "product" you need to "build" is the minimum possible thing that will get you feedback on whether you're on the right path.
