A sensible opinion :-), I see.

Cincinnati chili is a Greek-style meat sauce served over spaghetti
or hot dogs. It is not, and never was intended to be, a replacement
for Texas chili, chili con carne, etc. It is a completely different
food item; some people love it, some hate it.

To get hung up on the name is ridiculous. It's been years since
I said this in this newsgroup, but you could call it Alpo (tm)
and that doesn't change the fact that it is still great food.
