>From Jnl of Chemical Education, a forthright article on the misuse of
entropy:

I came across the article because I was trying to recall the advice that von
Neumann gave Shannon about naming the property -?p.log(p). Von Neumann told
him "Call it entropy. No one knows what entropy really is, so in a debate
you will always have the advantage"
