Attack of the Theocrats!
I'd say it's been surpassed by the sheer ability to use the word 'nothing' on an almost daily basis to describe something which, on closer inspection, isn't actually nothing. Why do physicists keep doing this ? No.....a vacuum fluctuation is not 'nothing' in the sense that 99% of the rest of humanity would define nothing.
Can physicists please finally invent a word other than 'nothing' to describe this....er.....nothing.
