This is a starship: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starship. The SpaceX starship is a spacecraft named like an interstellar spacecraft. Like naming the Dodge Dart as Dodge truck.
Next year, Toyota is gonna rename the Camry as Tundra and when people complain, they're gonna say 'Is Wonderbread really wonderful?'
Also I notice you didn't say anything about the Magic Bullet. So at least one of my analogies were ok. If there was one that worked, there exist others. Don't bash the concept just because I couldn't furnish a list of 100 acceptable examples for you off the top of my head.
Also, most people call their SUVs or CUVs "trucks". They are not trucks, yet we call them that.
It's just how language is used, dude. There are so many more important things to get upset about IMO. Or, better yet, life is much happier if you're a leaf on a stream.
It's not about examples specifically. It's about bullshit marketing. Same as with the Tesla Autopilot, but in this case, you're not the customer so probably that's why you're missing the point. For each analogy you make, I can counter it with one that proves it's bullshit.

I haven't met anyone on this content to call a SUV a 'truck'. Also, I was saying something about sedans though..

Not a dude.

You're right. I'll go outside now to unwind and ride my gunboat on the bike trail.
> For each analogy you make, I can counter it with one that proves it's bullshit.
This sounds like a fun game, but count me out.

Super common around NY/NJ.
I can see that "bullshit marketing" and product naming is a real buggaboo for you. We'll just have to agree to disagree. You did pose the question, after all. You may get responses that disagree with you.
Huh.. TIL Was under the impression that calling a couple of girls 'dudes' was gender neutral but apparently 'dude' itself is. Thanks.
> You may get responses that disagree with you.
And that is ok and expected. Enjoy the rest of your day, stranger!
