This isn't
a point worth arguing.
If you are going to proclaim something, be prepared to
defend it. If you can give me a documented nomenclature, I will
concede and call SEAC a military machine.
Why should I care what you call it?
My only point is that it doesn't make sense to say historians "tend to
dismiss" military computing, because the early history of digital
computing and the early history of military computing are inextricably
linked, and also because there is a HUGE amount of professionally done
history about the subjects.
In short, I'm saying "Will Donzelli is wrong" .... even though I that's
very difficult for someone like you to accept. :-)
