All right, off topic but I've seen this a bunch lately and the term just really irritates my brain for some reason. What's its origin? "[adverb] based" just feels so wrong to me. Shouldn't that be a noun: "Evidence-based medicine", "values-based", "faith-based", etc. Does "physically based" bother anyone else?
