Why the change to You Fail Biology Forever?

I wasn't online for a while, and came back to find that You Fail Biology Forever had been converted to Artistic License - Biology instead. Why was this change considered necessary? It messes up a lot of other entries that use YFBF as part of a (funny) sentence. And why, if there was a good reason, weren't any of the other You Fail entries changed? Hand-waving a biology fail as "artistic license" without doing the same to physics, law, etc, sounds like this site is consigning biologists to a Life Sciences Ghetto, as if only physical sciences count as solid facts.

All of the other ones were changed as well. It's not just biology.

Ah, okay, I guess whoever did it just changed all the biology ones first. When I looked before, You Fail Physics and so on hadn't been altered.

Still means we lost a lot of funny lines, though. :-(
