> REST (like "object-oriented programming") is an ambiguous term
It really isn't. There's a whole doctoral thesis describing in detail what REST is and what it is supposed to achieve.

That just means that ignorance is leading clueless developers to misrepresent a specific concept by talking about stuff they know nothing about.
Not knowing something is not the same as something not existing.
This problem is not caused by sloppy language but by militant ignorance of such a level that leads clueless people to assert that a concept has not been defined when that's patently and painfully false.
