See thats what I thoguht at first, but I think the lingo has been changing in recent years, now a days "geek" has been more associated, at least in my opinion, with computers and stuff. People who can fix things and be useful in society. If your knowledgeable in something your a "geek" in it, and geek doesn't have the social stigma that Nerd has been able to keep, so i think its more fitting that nerd be assigned to the one that has more negativity around it.
