The fact that Objective-C has a term "delegate" does not mean I can't argue that "behavior delegation" is an accurate term for any prototypical-inheritance mechanism, specifically JS's.
Objective-C taking a specific meaning for that term is nowhere near as ubiquitous as the point I made that "inheritance" has been so well defined across so many class-oriented languages (for decades!) that borrowing the term for [[Prototype]] is a confusing mistake.
