It's never a matter of right or wrong. I mean, we all should have realized at this point that CVB for Armored carrier designation is wrong. However, it's so well-entrenched that changing the designation now will be very difficult. Not to mention, changing the designation does not do any good to justify the confusion such a change will cause.

A well-known historical example of this situation would be the conventional current flow vs. electron flow. Benjamin Franklin clearly got the flow backwards but by the time people realized he had been wrong, it was far too late. Since swapping the direction of the flow on every electronics ever produced would not make life any easier (disregarding the hassle involved in the change), people decided to keep using conventional current.
