Of course, testnets were made by aliens, and people just found them, and simply joined.

Seriously: it is quite obvious, who created each testnet, and why it was made. You can read posts, made by testnet creators, and follow their way of thinking. They definitely had some goals. And note that when testnet1 or testnet2 was created, there was no regtest, no signet, and people just experimented in different ways, to test some things.

Should have used the AI thing... people are just dying for something to listen to that "isn't human". (cringe)

Two, I'm allowed to go against someones intentions if I don't think they are logical or based in reality.  It's testing... it's a testnet work.

Also, food for thought, a website can name anything anything.  I could list Testnet 5 as "Testnet Premine" and break away from the numbering system all together.  Then it is up to the people that use it to establish the norm.  (I see this stupid debate on changing Bitcoin in that regard, that is just a good example of what a service can do to help change the masses lingo.)
