I suppose I tend to think the same way about the term "Action RPG": apart from being a rather murky area where there's no clear delineation, I find that most RPGs could be described as ARPGs since they tend to involve more action than I'd prefer: almost all seem to have an unnecessarily frequent schedule of violence and aggravation when I'd rather be exploring and chatting to people. But maybe that's just me.
Not as bad as the term "shooter with RPG elements" though, which seems to describe much the same thing but in more obtuse terms.
