The trouble with using the wrong acronym is that it sets a little flag
in my mind saying 'don't treat this guy seriously he might be wrong
elsewhere too'. I suppose "superblock" could just about be claimed as a
generic term seeing as it is used for many different Unix filesystems
although it is stretching a point.

And sometimes people get shot because they're standing in the way of
the people who need to get shot at :)
