This what I hate most about the field. Everyone trying to look smart by using big words for stupidly obvious concepts. OO is especially guilty for this with all the design patterns.
Every so often on hacker news you get some article like this that tries to introduce a "new concept" that they didn't know has already existed for the longest time or you get some other person writing a blog post about some programming analogy how programming is like "theory building". I just roll my eyes. I really wonder why you only see programmers who like to think of themselves as "highly intelligent" and calling what they're doing "theory building" and why civil engineers or electrical engineers don't supply this endless vault of "analogy blog posts" for HN readers to self pleasure themselves to.
