Caring about branding things NoSQL isn't just not useful, it's harmful because it replaces really understanding things (like how a particular method works, and what it's good for) with a useless shorthand. Reminds me of a quote:

“You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you’re finished, you’ll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird… So let’s look at the bird and see what it’s doing — that’s what counts. I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.”
