I was not aware, that "guinea pig" is used as a word to spread a certain
set of mind. It's just a mistake. The same kind of mistake that led
chili to be called "pepper". And piment "spanish pepper". Mmmh. Seems
that in most common mistakes I know, spains were involved...

But "IP" was introduced by intention. So it is wise _not_ to use that term.
