Ask HN: Is "the web" an anachronism?

I edit medical research papers. On occasion, an author will cite a URL, e.g.,

> the investigators used the calculator for pancreatic fistula and DGE using the ISGPS definition on the Web (http://pancreasclub.com/calculator/)

I routinely change this to "on the Internet". While these authors are invariably citing port 80, certainly few sites with "www" actually participate in WWW consortium activities. What does the CS community do?
