It's beyond "misconception", as "luddite" now means someone who dislikes new technology. The word has been redefined.

  Like many words, it can be important to know its history.

    Sure, but it's not a misconception to call someone who doesn't like new technology a luddite. The word has been simplified, even if it used to be more complex.

      Applying labels is a poor way to understand someone's position.

        Pretending like words don't mean what they actually mean is an even worse way, though.
