Absolutely. We should learn from Lars Pensjö and start referring to "blueprint objects" and "clones". Or take the updated version and call them "programs" and "objects". I'm sure that'll make a huge amount more sense than using the terms that millions of programmers already understand. Alternatively, we could take the Humpty Dumpty approach and assign meanings to names arbitrarily. But wait till Saturday night when they come for their wages.
