I get it, okay? I disagree. Telling me that "GNU" is a "principal

So, why don't you let those of use who choose to use a more commonly
accepted, no less accurate, and more generally understood name simply do
so?
Does the popularity of an error makes it the truth?
Apparently, since we feel that is what you're espousing.
And in regards to the kernel vs os theory, Linus himself takes to
calling the entire system as Linux. Since he's the one that started
this whole tree and everyone chose to toss their software underneath his
kernel, I'm inclined to say that he and I have matching naming for this
set of software. I'd say I'm tickled pink, but i'm not.
So if Linus calls it Linux, where is the error? It seems to largely be
more of just a matter of pedantic opinion based on a conceived notion
for a given point in time.
Notions change and the times have changed.
