An excellent article that describes how trying to overtake the name of a project via hard fork is unheard of and nonsense.

That's nevertheless exactly what ethereum did.  The old project, ETC, has a new name, and the "alt coin", the forked-away coin, kept the name ethereum.  Most probably because the overtake was done by the centralized core team, and it got the biggest part of the market cap.
