The terms "whitelist/blacklist" are no less precise than stack, heap, queue, memory, signal, object, class, instance, process, and so on. They acquired precise meaning not by etymology but by usage. It's silly to argue "Oh you didn't want these terms anyway: they're not precise enough." Well, the whole discussion is made of silly hills not worth dying on, so to speak, so maybe it's par for the course ...
