This is perhaps enough of a variant on the other thread to justify it's own existence (specifically: OP asks whether we should come up with a funny name for AAdvantage miles rather than wanting to discuss the MM program in general).
For me personally, the MM program was a nice extra perk, but not an essential part of the way I valued my miles. Moreover, I think AAdvantage miles are still substantially more useful than SkyPesos or NonePass miles, so I think a moniker that suggests equivalence would be misleading.
