They are pointing out the fact that we are talking about
"stateful packet filtering" when we are saying "stateful inspection"
and they are not one and the same. They are different. I'm not
totally sure if I agree that "Stateful Inspection(tm)" is merely
a marketing buzzword, but I have been convinced that the term means
something different than the "stateful packet filtering" that we
have been discussing.
