The scientific naming hierarchy in its natural habitat:

Linguists: Meticulously crafting a standardized phonetic system for every conceivable language, including fictional Klingon and long-dead Sumerian. Very reasonable.

Physicists/Engineers: "This revolutionary quantum computer? We're calling it... a device. That revolutionary fusion reactor? Also a device. The coffee maker I built that accidentally achieved cold fusion? You guessed it—device."

Geologists: *grinding teeth* "Actually, we've decided the Earth's core is now 17% hotter and made of different elements than we thought last Tuesday. We'll probably change our minds again before your textbook finishes printing."
