Thank you for asking. I am sure the term is as old as the industry, but in every domain I am irked by the use of adjectives, specifically, as nouns. This article is a particularly irritating example. My earliest memory of struggling with this kind of language was in high school economics class. I was forever put off from the material by the confusing truncation of noun-phrases into adjectives. And it's a shame, because there's a lot to discuss here: vast swathes of the technology industry hinge on the subjects discussed. Weinberg and Lombardo seem to be suggesting that an emperor has no clothes.
