Names are important. They have power, and, they flip like fashion.
But no matter what you'd like to call it, when the technology descends,
you will not decide the name, the company will not decide the name, the
public will.
The users of any technology will generate their own language to describe
their world. Any imposed name is only a starting point.
Rossi didn't think of shortening to "Ecat", the fans did. (Perhaps
someone on Vortex?)
I am an advocate who has stood out on the street and spoke one-on-one
with the public about this technology. It is clear: "cold fusion" is a
superior term with the kids and young people. they do not have the
prejudice that older people have. And they will be the users.
I call it whatever name needs be, for whatever audience I have. It is a
Rumplestiltskin reaction, and it's "the bomb", too.
I will be videotaping at ICCF. I will use multiple names for each
person, according to their preference. that's just how cold fusion now
rolls.
