In this case, we are not dumbing down and ridiculing an honest use of the terms, but ridiculing a wide-spread use that has been dumbed down already and preached as gospel, not science.

As currently preached, not only is global warming unverifiable and uncontradictable by evidence, but it is routinely supported by outright lies, such as the claim that "the Antartic is melting" and the "seas could rise 20 feet" - as Al Gore routinely claims.

Statistical clustering is a valid demographic technique too. It does mean that I have to credit the studies that come out in the Lancet in October of election years claiming wild numbers of casualties in Iraq, or that those studies aren't worthy of ridicule too.
