The literal meaning is a simple fact, but I've seen it used pejoratively in discussions on some US-centric steampunk comms, so I'd have been been reticent to use the term myself even before seeing your poll results.
Had I witnessed you using the term before today I'd have just assumed you were being quirkily scientific.
