Purists Memes

Chemistry professors: "Organometallic compounds contain a metal-carbon bond." Chemistry rebels: "Water is organometallic. A grimy steel pan is organometallic. OXYHYDROGEN IS ORGANOMETALLIC!" This chart perfectly captures the spectrum from chemistry purists who demand proper covalent bonds to the absolute chaos agents who'll call anything with atoms "organometallic" if you give them enough coffee. Next thing you know, someone's going to claim the air we breathe is just a fancy organometallic aerosol. The chemistry community is SHAKING.
