I don't disagree. That's sort of what I said: often data parallelism is what is called "embarrassingly parallel", but there are certainly plenty of cases of data parallelism which are not embarrassingly parallel. I would say that "embarrassingly parallel" problems are a subset of "data parallel" problems.

I guess my quibble is that, in my experience, the frequency that problems are "embarrassingly parallel" is so small that I never use the term.
