> Show your evidence that "Joy Plots" were named after the Freudenabteilung.

Huh? Joy plots were named after Joy Division (because of their album cover), which was named for what happened in the Holocaust.

The chain of derivation is crystal clear and 100% undisputed.

The Control Strip is named after a strip of controls. There's zero evidence of derivation from something else.

End of story.

I don't know why you're continuing to talk about genitals or IBM. They have zero to do with this.
