In general using these medical/biological metaphors doesn't seem like a good idea in things like computer science research papers and similar.
Their use forces many inaccurate comparisons (when compared in detail) and they engender human qualities to what are already forgotten to be just computer models. I get this may be done with a slight tongue-in-cheek but with research papers there is also the risk that these terms start to be adopted. And undoing that would be a much taller order in either the research community or general media.
Maybe I am just yelling at clouds.
