A question: why would anyone imagine that the origin of the term "RPI" is even faintly relevant to anything? Words change their meaning over time, and once they have changed it's pointless to carry on trying to use them in their original sense; that simply obscures your meaning rather than clarifying it. Language is dynamic.
