The problem isn't the terminology.

 

The problem is using it incorrectly, and not being able to tell what you're looking at when you see it.  Just as those who can't easily see Telvin made a mistake and pull anything out of their rear to claim otherwise.  You can really tell who has/has not played the game and spent time in a film room as soon as they open their mouths.

 

That's what he's laughing at, and has every right to.  I similarly chuckle when I see folks blabber on about "techs" when they're just regurgitating what they hear on TV/radio with having little depth of understanding.
