I would like to point out that feedback implosion actually can be seen as an implosion event. All the feedback traffic generated are concentrated at the target for the feedback. Thus causing an implosion of the feedback target under the "weight" of all the feedback. But, seriously "Feedback Implosion" is an established expression within computer science. Thus although it may not be all correct we shouldn't change it. I would recommend that you google "Feedback Implosion" all the hits on the first page are related to computer science, at least for me.
