I don't think that this adds anything to the discussion. If it's necessary to complain about Jupyter's name, the place to do that is surely where Jupyter development is being discussed, which is not here. Otherwise, as with all HN things, if you don't like this, then just move on. What's the use of downplaying what someone else found interesting?
(Besides which, it's explicitly pedagogical, and you can never overestimate the importance of having students do anything actively on their own, even if it's well understood by people with existing knowledge. Because (a) what a specialist thinks is well known probably isn't, and (b) the whole reason they're students is that they don't even know the things that really are well known yet.)
