You and me both, man. I think it's down to simple and stupid pride. As if it's more important to have your name on stuff than having a consitant terminology.

There's plenty of faults in science. It's a pride driven machine, which brings with it many undesirable side affects. Still it's the best system we've got for finding the truth. I hope you're with me on that one?
