If they gave it a stupid name, why would they be any smarter in the development of the system itself? The name clearly indicates a lack of wisdom.

First impressions matter.

First impressions matter mostly to those who are influenced by them. Many scams have been successful because of exactly that.

A stupid name might do well on search engines for example (as in, those names could be easily searched)

Furthermore I don't really consider the name to be stupid. I don't quite really know of many other ways of succinctly highlighting resilience as a property in a name.
