So, Mark, an entire industry has co-opted a term for its purposes.  Consumer industries are good at that, of course, but it does not make it right.  It confuses consumers.  No matter how much you protest that this unscrupulous behavior is reality and those of us who expect fair treatment are going to just have to get used to it, it sounds for all the world like an advertising gimmick.  I for one find it offensive.
