Seems just a bit silly to me... I mean, you name a part for the _most common_
use, right? Especially if it's ALMOST ALWAYS used for the same thing, except
for once or twice. And it's known that every rule has an exception - doesn't
mean that you have to cancel the rule, right?
If you go by the analogy you suggested... the palm tree piece has been used in
one set (the light-thingie technic Shuttle :) as something else. Does that
mean it's not a palm tree...? I don't think so.
Or, for another example... the anntena piece. It's most often used as
antennae, or perhaps a gear or switch. And it's named as an antennae (I
think). However, some sets use it as other things - a specific forestman set
(too lazy to check #) has it as a handle for the well. So do we need to change
it's name? Not in my opinion...
Just my 2 cents.
