I've thought for a long time that (some) enterprise architects seem to be trying to gain credibility by layering on the technical jargon, borrowed it seems from engineering and computer science, to disguise the fact that what we do is often common sense.  We should embrace that fact, not hide it.

 I even had one irate attendee at a conference rise up in high dudgeon and accuse me of peddling "nothing more than good systems engineering."  Well, yes.

So, keep on keeping on with the clear language and clear purpose!
