Only if it were that simple.

As I keep saying, most of this "labeling" is normative, not explanatory. I
admit I'm spanking this horse because it's not just about 'having a
discussion'. Lot of the "labeling" I see is fueled by a land-grab mentality.
When Jakob gives you a definition that something is %99.6735 this or that
way, he's not trying to have a discussion with you. He's just selling you,
whatever the heck he's selling this week.  A lot of the labels, memes,
concepts, methodologies floating around are not much more than commercial
collateral material.
