I also like the fact that how he says that that theorem was a good theorem for the time but is now not that relevant

Maybe PACELC is better theorem, maybe not - but I guess three letter acronyms would always rule better than a six letter one

Esp since CAP is easily pronounced. "PACELC"? Is it "Pace-elk"? "Pak-Elk"? "Pacel-C"?
