"REST" is supposed to be an architectural style reflecting the Web as used by humans. Humans don't normally manually construct URLs. They navigate based on links from an entry point. (See also: https://hypermedia.systems/hypermedia-components/#_self_desc... )
Sure. But then what words do you use to describe actual REST?
This keeps happening and all it does it cause confusion.
It's one thing to make up new words for new concepts so you can more easily refer to them in a conversation.
It's another thing entirely to give a word a vague but similar meaning without any clear way to differentiate between the original specific and new extremely nebulous concept.
