Yeah this loop will go on with this comment, it seems.
Lots of the comments contribute the failure to quite a few reasons, and emphasize on the effect of the reasons. But the real thing is this actually can imply that the failure can be narrow down to "a few simple obvious fixes".
To me it make me feel good since "a bad title" can be a very simple excuse to think that "what if I fix that, things would get better" and ignore more problem in depth.. Since I can never go back in time and retry it in the exact same setting.
Things like "It's OK, you have tried your best" is the real negativity to me, since it implies that I have reached the best I can do in potential/capacity, and can be quite discouraging. But it is quite helpful sometimes since I can recogonize my limits and try to improve myself or pivot.
A. If you mean that there is some authority that can do that, what authority other than a dictionary?(not rhetorical question)
Alternatively, B. if you mean that there shouldn't be any authority that can define the meaning of the word. In this way you can't stop people to understand it as it's literal meaning and blame them.
Hard to imagine this can be upvoted to this high.
"Open Source" just means that the source code is open, not closed.
Some people just like the source code to be open (e.g. for security reasons to examine the source code.).
It is just as simple as that.
