650 WSM's long term future

I guess the first sentence of last paragraph keeps me out of DEI jail. The meaning of words can change. What DEI do with the term "master and slave" used in almost all high speed data gear timing used since at least from 1970?

I still try not to offend anyone. But sometimes words we use for decades change meaning without everyone noticing.
 
Just read the manual, they didn't use "main and secondary" back when I worked with them. Now days a lot of modems can hook up "automatically" (as long as you get the address correct) and the users really doesn't know. It's sooo much easier.

They still use Master and slave in photography, when talking about flash units. I never thought of it as offensive but I'm not young.
