Abstract

Delving into the archives for the meaning of SLD reveals that the name is ill chosen. Furthermore, empiric evidence shows that the significance of the letters is entering the realms folklore. As clear logical thinking about a subject is impeded if the vocabulary is misleading or confused this note is intended to bring this matter to light before many more generations of logic programmers proliferate misconceptions. Clear logical thinking is of even greater import for a subject that purports to be about logic.
