   A. Re-using the same name for a very different product is   
      moronically stupid. NAMES HAVE MEANING.   
      
   B. It destroys whatever is left of the original franchise,   
      including any even remote hope of a getting properly   
      fitting addition.   
      
   C. It's sheer laziness and over-egoed stupidity to   
      butcher someone else's hard work.
