    Your hamster analogy falls apart here because it only describes an exception, not a rule.

    It’s not my analogy.

        I’m not splitting a hair, I’m just telling you I don’t feel that strongly about it because I’m not the one who made it. I’d never heard it before.

            It doesn’t have to be the whole explanation. It’s not like you get a singular sentence to talk to someone lol.

                “It’s like ham and hamster. Totally unrelated. But that’s just JavaScript, other BlahScripts are related. There was this crazy advertising push for Java back in the '90s that they took advantage of for name recognition.”

                Still a very succinct and straightforward explanation.
