Long ago, when I was a new hire at IBM, fresh out of college with my hoity toity computer science degrees, and without enough experience to have much real work to do, I would try to argue with the MVS developers about how MVS perverted the definitions of computer science terms, like using "queue" to refer to any linked list, when "queue" was supposed to be an abstract ordered data structure with specific addition and deletion protocols. And they would mostly tolerantly ignore me and tell me that before long, I would be just like them with too much work to do and no time to argue about such things. And I thought, "No way! They are wrong. I will always make time to be passionate about that." But it didn't take long for them to be proved correct.
