I do see your point. But i'm guessing that this myth is one that originated in Britain? Because I've never heard of it. The Holy Grail is something known world wide as far as i can tell. So if the Philosopher's Stone is an area-specific myth, I can understand why they changed it. But knowing now where the name originated, I do wish they had left the title alone.
