An excellent, excellent point.

And the world is filled with groups that misrepresent themselves through their name (sometimes the meaning or member composition has changed since the group was established), so why should the scientists be any different? Part o' the problem is that people have this perception that scientists are/should be objective about everything. Nice idea, but utterly theoretical.
