On the one hand, I viscerally agree with you because I have some distaste for some aspects of philosophy. On the other hand, we have terms of art in CS that seem equally obscure to outsiders. Have you ever looked at the complexity theory wiki?
Wait, there's a wiki on complexity theory? Computational complexity or the complex systems kind?
I don't find the term as obscure as a I find it offensive: it just sounds wrong. But yeah, there are plenty of terms like that in any field, whether they be obscure or just irksome.
