Almost certainly, since in much of the world these days
the term "Itanic" is used as a sardonic pun and comment
on the perceived [by those using the term] probable future
of the Itanium Processor Family. As in: "This *has* to
succeed! We *cannot* fail! This *will* succee...*CRASH!*
Oops, where did that iceberg come from?"
