I disagree with the last sentence. If you have some terminology you don't like, provide an alternative. Main is fine. But like what is the alternative to cargo cult provided here? It's a very concise representation of a pretty complex idea. "You are valuing the ritual associated with an outcome instead of the outcome." Is that my alternative? Main is more concise than master. But how do I boil that down without saying "cargo cult"? |

If someone is unfamiliar with the common English term or is understands it is "by habit" but isn't getting the implicit comparison with a practice following an understanding of the underlying process it, like the image of "cargo cult" referenced in the metaphor, may need expanded a bit on first encounter, but it is both more concise, and uses direct denotation rather than metaphor.
