This started with Iain complaining about the term "full frame" which is really arbitrary and meaningless and I agree with him.

It's common photography jargon. It's arbitrary, sure, but so for example definition of one meter or one kilogram.

Seiously? A meter is not arbitrary. It's one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the north pole. One kilogram is one thousand grams. It's related to the meter. One gram is a cubic centimeter of water.

Ten million is an arbitrary number. It only looks "official" because most of us happen to have ten digits. There are some lucky people who have two fully functional thumbs on each hand. If that was more common we could be using base 12 instead of 10.
