This is simple.

It is. There's a universally-agreed on meaning of the word "efficiency"
in its technical sense. But our resident eccentric, IMM, will insist on
treating it as a synonym for "effectiveness", "utility", "fitness for
purpose", or a slew of other terms. He will (on all past form) refuse to
back down on terminology; if you're not careful he'll accuse you soon of
having been blinded to the iniquities of land taxation and word abuse by
your time at a snotty Uni.

Please don't feed the trolls. Benign neglect is working reasonbly on the
oh-so-humourous cross-posting brigade. Even the wish to not leave Google
/dejanews history uncorrected is served better in the long term by
removing the encouragement to polemic which answering IMM provides.

Just walk on by. This is not the thread you're looking for. Nothing to
see here, folks, Move along. Move along. They'll turn to rock when the
sun comes out. Move along.
