Full Self Driving was chosen to describe its intended capabilities exactly.
Was the SLS misleading before its first flight in 2022 because it had yet to launch to space? Were the James Webb or Hubble falsely advertised during production? "They want us to call that thing a 'Space Telescope' when it's obviously a pile of mirrors on the ground..."
- sokoloff 3y agoIt would be wrong to have called Mercury "lunar orbiters" though.
- abenga 3y agoIf a space telescope is delivered to astrophysicists for use without being able to do what a telescope should do, hell yeah that's misleading. There's a massive difference between "I want to build thing x -> I'm building x -> I have built x -> Pay me for x -> Ok, here's your x, go ahead and use x" and "I want to build x in the future -> pay me for x -> here's x, go ahead and use it -> I am building x -> I have built x (I may not be able to build it at all, btw)".
