is that we are discussing technical aspects of an interface and I personally give no truck to marketing terms.

If you give no truck to marketing terms then why do you constantly snipe that USB isn't "universal"?

I am not marketing usb but commenting as a user.
You appear to be.
If you look at the websites of some usb audio manufacturers you will see versions in praise of usb transfer which is on the edge, or crosses the line of truth.
If you give no truck to marketing terms then why do you constantly snipe that USB isn't "universal"?Fair point. As a mathematician, you are no doubt familiar with Charles Dodgson/Lewis Carroll. Remember Alice in the Looking Glass ? One of the characters Alice met behind the mirror was, of course, Humpty-Dumpty:
'I don’t know what you mean by "glory," ' Alice said.Humpty-Dumpty smiled contemptuously. 'Of course you don’t – till I tell you. I meant, "there’s a nice knock-down argument for you!" '
'But "Glory" doesn’t mean 'a nice knock-down argument,' Alice objected.
'When I use a word,' Humpty-Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, 'It means just what I want it to mean – neither more nor less'.
'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things'.
'The question is,' said Humpty-Dumpty, 'which is to be master – that’s all.'
I find it hard to say whether fmak's incessant rants are as irritating as they are ill-informed or the other way round.
But perhaps it's just an optically-isolated illusion. In other words, there are no grounds for it.

Good reference. Malice in wonderland.

Careful, fmak will take offense at being compared to a cracked egg. Or maybe just a bad egg. Or just the butt of the yolk.
