Am I the only one who thinks "adversarial attack" is both a redundant and unhelpful name? - Redundant: Anyone who attacks you is by definition your adversary.

Am I the only one who thinks "adversarial attack" is both a redundant and unhelpful name?
- Redundant: Anyone who attacks you is by definition your adversary.
- Unhelpful: According to the article, "designing an input in a specific way to get the wrong result from the model is called an adversarial attack." That sounds much closer to spoofing attack ("a situation in which one person or program successfully masquerades as another by falsifying data" -Wikipedia). For example, a turtle masquerades as a gun by spoofing the machine learning system by changing irrelevant visual details.
