Not long ago slashdot had a story about how easy it was to redefine a
term acording to google. Granted it would probally take a bit longer
to redefine 'king james bible':

Generally I agree that we sometimes are to eager to package static
data-sets and texts. Being able to write 'apt-get remove text' instead
of 'rm -Rf /usr/local/doc/text' isn't really a win in my opinion. But
you argument is flawed.
