microLenat
microLenat: /mi:`-kroh-len'-*t/ n. The unit of bogosity,
written uL; the consensus is that this is the largest unit
practical for everyday use. The microLenat, originally invented by
David Jefferson, was promulgated as an attack against noted
computer scientist Doug Lenat by a tenured graduate student at
CMU. Doug had failed the student on an important exam for giving
only "AI is bogus" as his answer to the questions. The slur is
generally considered unmerited, but it has become a running gag
nevertheless. Some of Doug's friends argue that *of course* a
microLenat is bogus, since it is only one millionth of a Lenat.
Others have suggested that the unit should be redesignated after
the grad student, as the microReid.
