I agree....I have worked with some equipment with complicated names, ie vapor sorption analyzer....it is just a glorified microbalance with an RH probe....
then, there is differential scanning calorimetry...all it is is a heater and two thermometers....why all those words? Why not just a box with a heater, and two thermometers?
It seems that they have the most complicated names for some of the most ridiculous things.
