It helps to be dead, very dead. No one referred to Rashi or Rambam by an acronym when they were alive. Remember when they were alive, no one considered the “Rishonim” to be anything more than contemporary rabbanim (except maybe the Rambam, who was known as a leading physican/political leader at the time, as well).
