I'll split the difference, folks in operational security dislike the term as they
feel it's inaccurate. They tend to think it's marketing vs operational related.
Reflection attacks are considered a sub-type of DoS/DDoS and do not require a new
term. It's the same problem folks have with absolute terms like "Unlimited Data"
with the asterisk.
Can I direct the knife-fights about that part off-list? :) (and preferably exclude me,
i get enough email).
