You're using the term "traditional database" two levels up. Whatever your definition of that is, it's their definition of "database".

Your initial post says "I have a different definition of 'database'", which is different than anyone else's, as you acknowledge when you refer to that common definition as a 'traditional database'.

Then, you fault them for making an argument that is invalid for your non-standard definition of a database!

You would like Kafka, the author.

No my post said that the term database has evolved beyond their definition. If you want to fight that trend then you will be swimming against the current.
