I suggested two tag synonyms a while ago ([infection] -> [virus] and [dbms] -> [database]), but they have so far attracted no votes in either direction. So if anyone wants to vote, please do: security.stackexchange.com/tags/synonyms
I just realised that you need to have a score when I tried to vote for your [prng] -> [random]. Hopefully someone with the points comes along and vote.

I think there should be 3 ranges: very young (crap), very old (almost definitely very good, to some extent), and everything in between - where age doesnt really matter.
my point is if they turn whisky pricing into a labelling marketing game purely, they'll lose out (in my opinion) as a lot of people won't pay the money they were willing to when there was a connection to years of effort to create the product
compare to gin, very few people I know pay £50+ for a gin
for example if you like Laphroig and previously you paid top dollar for an 18 year old laphroig, would you be happy to pay the same for a 5 year old NAS Laphroig?
well... as a consultant who is moving away from charging for time, and prefering value-based pricing - I tend to want to say "it doesnt matter" :-)
@RоryMcCune on the one hand - no. but on the other hand, if you "trust" Laphroaig, it shouldnt matter. If you like their 5 year more than the 18 year...
e.g. they have a few different bottles at the same age, quality not the same.
materials are higher-quality, more development effort end-to-end (as opposed to relying on pre-made Android OS), overall better... and yet Lumia has no foothold.
