There is a technical reason. I may know, but Google does not. I look up "Man in the Middle" and get many years worth of useful info. I look up "Monster in the Middle", and here's what I get: one result about a cloudflare project, one bodybuilding.com post, one disney wiki post, and several you tube videos about "HuggleMonsters". After those is this discussion. Does that sound like a really good term to use? This looks like some one at cloud flare got pc and used the term, then this guy got in on it. I see no reason to let some company decide what's proper; I'd rather go for decades of security and development expertise.
- jraph 7y agoIf the expression spreads, search engines will start showing relevant results. If it does not spread, then we are facing a non-issue.
- danShumway 7y agoTo add to this, search engines already need to correlate "MITM" and "Man in the Middle". But we don't see anyone here arguing that the expanded form should be preferred to make searching between those two forms easier. Correlating terms turns out to be a pretty easy problem. It's overlapping terms like "Mongoose (Animal)" and "Mongoose (Database)" that are hard.
