>>just like today when outright fake and altered chips are being referred to in much softer, pleasant terms such as "non-genuine" and "remanufactured" and "restored".

>>Political correctness has taken over this country ... and our hobby

The use of the terms non-genuine, remanufactured and restored are not used out of political correctness. They are being used to try to properly distinguish the way in which a chip is fake or altered.
