1.5 Conclusion
As scientists we have to stick to the scientific guidelines when creating definitions, whether they are scientifically correct or not and the definitions must adhere to linguistic meanings, otherwise once mistakes are made it becomes very difficult to rectify them. It is unfortunate that the terminology used in publications may become part of textbooks misleading young minds and future scientists, whom we have the responsibility to educate with an open mind, without leading to any assumption. This requires respect of the previous use of terms to describe the same phenomenon yet the terms, which are introduced must be flexible enough to accommodate definitions as our knowledge base broadens by the development of new technologies that may not be currently available.
It is certainly hoped that this attempt to correct the terminology will be recognized by colleagues as a friendly suggestion and will be used in coming publications to further avoid any confusion that may arise by using synonyms to describe different phenomenon and every attempt to correct this error should be made.
