Aside: what's on with the name of the algorithm? -- does it stand for something?

It's the initials of the authors of the Nature paper

Pretty terrible name for an algorithm to be honest. Besides being unpronounceable, if the purpose is to acknowledge the discoverers of the algorithm it doesn’t even do a good job of that (who recognizes initials anyway?)
