Sometimes, but there are many cases where the nerds win. Like with technology. How many times do we hear old people misuse terms because they don't care about the difference just for some young person to laugh and make fun of their lack of perspective?

I've seen it quite a lot, and I have full confidance it will happen here so long as an actual generalized intelligence comes along to show everyone the HUGE difference every nerd talks about.
