For all intensive purposes  Linux can be most hard and laden with jargon ?   Who is all this jargon for other than to intimidate other stupid people .  Among the dumbest of people the worst sin in the world is to admit that you are wrong or do not know.  Better , or the ultimate mistake is to admit that you do not know.  Instead pretend like you do .

It’s akin to people who come from deranged or most dysfunctional backgrounds and families.  In prison or at the anger management course they hear words drifting in and out of their consciousness -  “maturity “  “responsibility ” “fair treatment of other people ” etc etc etc.  The  amazing part is that although they can spout these words they have absolute no innate concepts of what the words mean in application.  The one purpose of these words is to intimidate others in their community – who associated these words and their terms , since these terms are associated in the minds of their friends , family and colleagues with authority figures and their powers.   Its not unlike spouting such terms as “F.B.I.”  or ” Corrections Canada”  .

The  purpose and purposes of jargon is indeed to explain what might be complex terms in a swoop.  This is exceptionally important in the case of emergencies.  If the sail boat is going over you do not have time to explain to your crew which and what parts of the boat they have to attend to.  Jargon or the nomenclature of the trade or sport makes this all rapid , fast and efficient.

So is it with computer Linux jargon.   There is a good reason for it.
