Haskellers regularly hear complaints of the form "you should have called it 'Mappable' instead of 'Functor' -- that would have made it much easier to understand" or "you should have called it 'Chainable' instead of 'Monad' -- that would have made it much easier to understand", so I don't think we can say that this purely comes from a position of assumed superiority.
