The only way to pop a hmm boner is to apply tunnel vision to only view the situation in the context of Physics, completely ignoring or dismissing linguistics which is applying a word to describe the effects by a laymen.

A star bends light

A blackhole captures light

A planet maybe wobbles

So applying a term sucks in is completely valid, linguistically.

Then some dyslexic comes along to correct us. There is always these patronizing caunts. Do we really need to be reminded that black holes and gravity are correlated?!

urbandictionary comes along and another term is born, poking fun at these robotic patronizers

Captain Obvious the space between his ears is not a vacuum, it’s this or that gaddaingit!
