Snake Oils in Engineering
- Fuzzy Logic
- The idea behind fuzzy logic is to give a state
proportional membership among sets.
As Bob
Pease points out, "many of us engineers use analog signals to
represent that proportionality."
- Cross-platform compilers
- Whenever two people do the same thing, they do it differently.
- PGP
- Most people can't figure out that they need to exchange keys before
sending messages.
