Why Do We Still Call Them "Clipless" Pedals?

There once was a family reunion. Four generations were represented. The daughters were to cook the meal. The youngest was to cook the ham. When placing the ham in the pan, her husband noticed she cut off one inch from the end and threw it away. He asked, "Why do you cut off one inch?" She replied; "That is the way my mother always did it." They went into the other room and asked the mother. She responed that was the way her mother did it. Finally, they reach the great-grandmother in the dining room. When asked why, she replied; "My pan was too short!"

Just because someone made a mistake years ago by calling these pedals "clipless", why do we continue when we know better! They are not clipless, they are clipped, as in clipped to the pedal.
