But for most average people I let it roll of my back nowadays. The problem is that the term visual effects wasn't really officialized until around the 70's. Even Star Wars referred to it as "special visual effects," if I recall correctly. Up until around the advent of computers for use in motion control and CGI, it was all considered special effects, including optical effects like blue screen. It was all just part of that same magic technique of making the impossible possible.
