Oy ve, if you're going to get upset about names, please get upset about the Standard Model particle names, which are a dumpster fire. The problem is that a tiny group signals outrage on behalf of a much larger group, and sensitive, empathic people like Aaronson take the bait. This just doesn't matter, Scott.
