If you're a computer scientist/engineer, and the first thought that goes through your mind when you read the description of a problem is "wow, that's offensive" or "wow, why describe the problem like that"....
How does the context of the problem statement have any bearing on a solution? outside of certain moral dilemmas in extreme instances, they don't.
Who cares if the problem was framed in a "morbid context"? it's done, it's over, how does quibbling over the "context" solve anything? It doesn't. It's a complete waste of time and energy, and solutions are hard enough to come by for easy problems, let alone difficult ones, we should be expending our energy on solutions, not whining about terminology, or context.
