saying this only somewhat tongue-in-cheek as simple naming will always struggle to succinctly explain technology differences that just aren’t succinct to explain … but I now regularly find myself in discussion with “civilian” or “crossover” audiences where I lay out how the naming & product families work - just like you do here - and I can feel the eye-rolling ! to which I often can only say “I didn’t invent this stuff, I just work here, I’m just the messenger” - it absolutely creates barriers to adoption when succinct naming & explaining just doesn’t do the job the tech on your 101 covers easily two orders of magnitude in performance (three ?) and over 10 years of engineering (15 ?) - just not gonna be succinct
