Regarding a trademarked course-name--- I feel the discussion is philosophical rather than practical. You can argue that "Coca Cola"-- doesnt contain Cocoa-- and hence it is misleading-- but that is a unnecessary discussion. Sure... even I hate how lay-people sometimes mis-interpret buzzwords-- but-- it is un-deniable-- that technology exposure can inspire even people otherwise cut-off from mainstream academia and the mainstream technology industry. If you (Shakthi Kannan) want, why dont you share-- what are your assumptions about context here-- that you feel my point is "out of context" ?
