I understand it for normal words. But for an acronym? About a body of technical research? How are we supposed to refer to the thing that Fielding meant when he coined the term?
Lots of technical terms are used quite loosely I think. If you ask 10 people what a compiler is, or what functional programming is or what goes where on the OSI layers you’ll get different answers.
It’s not practical but that’s the world we live in.
