Does git use "slave?"
Then does simply performing a search on bitkeepers documents for "slave" then automatically imply any particular terminology "came from bitkeeper?"
Did they take it from bitkeeper because they prefer antiquated chattel slavery terminology? Is there any actual documents that show this /intention/?
Or did they take it because "master" without slave is easily recognizable as described above which accurately describes how it's _actually_ implemented in git.
Further git is distributed. Bitkeeper was not.
This is just time wasting silliness.
Does asking rhetorical questions count as effective argumentation?
If I do enough sealioning will my unsupported thesis be belived?
What about imposing my modern perspective into a chain of historical events to prove my own perspective?
Further, I'm going to use technical jargon to get around Occam's razor.
You seem very serious about this, I think wasting time on something silly could be good for you.
