That's the way these discussions usually end up.
You get a bunch of folks who take a word like gigglethorpe, and each
assigns to it a meaning comfortable to himself. Then they argue which
one is the "true" meaning.

After digging in, I find that refactor is not an "opinion" word - it s a
mathematical term.

It was hijacked by some MBA's a few years ago, and incorporated into
their political philosophies on programming... like a logo.
