Jim,

It's not really a matter of argument. It's really 
a matter of data and evidence. There are a lot of 
word origin stories out there that simply are not 
supported by the data/evidence. And the actual 
origins usually are more interesting. Word 
history is like any other kind of history: there 
are the stories handed down and then there's the 
data from records and documents. Sometimes one 
contradicts the other, and then things really get 
fun.
