I read the email. It said it was about removing references to the terms
"master" and "slave".

But then went on to advocate removing a different word which just
happens to be a homonym for one of the above. Which is why I called it
bizarre and illogical.

Even if we accept the initial premise that history can be fixed by
whitewashing it and never speaking of it again and never even using
terms that can accidentally *remind* people of it... extending it to
homonyms makes no sense at all.
