SEO? Many people still call ANSI and Unicode art "ASCII art".
It would be like if I made a website called "veggiebot" and the logo were a tomato, and everyone were getting up in arms about tomatoes technically being a fruit (berry).
Yes. In theory tomatoes are not vegetables. But in practice they are treated as vegetables and searching for images of "vegetables" in google will almost certainly yield pictures of tomatoes.
In theory ASCII is not Unicode. But in practice, 99% of people don't care about the under-the-hood esoteric intricacies of all the different character encodings. They see a picture made from printable characters instead of pixels and think "ASCII art"
There's no botanical definition of "vegetable" like there is with "fruit". So it's sort of disingenuous to complain about edible plant categorization while using the social/cultural sense of the first word but not the other.
> In theory tomatoes are not vegetables.
I don't think I agree with that sentence. "Did you know that a tomato is technically a fruit?" is true and interesting if you've never heard it before.
On the other hand "Did you know that a tomato isn't a vegetable; it's technically a fruit!" <- This is false. Fruits are only not vegetables if you use the social/cultural sense of both words.
