Doesn't it refer to the day of the extinction? "Doomsmillenium" doesn't sound nearly as good, I think.
Sure. But the human species can go extinct on one day without a vast number of humans dying on that day. Maybe it's just one little old lady who took a damn long time to kick the bucket, and then finally she keels over and that's "doomsday".
That's what Psychohistorian was saying shouldn't be called doomsday, and I tend to agree.
