- These are meaningless marketing obfuscation designed to make you
- say, "Wow! That's cool! I want one, and I don't have a clue
- as to what it really is!"

- While I'm sure that some bias-related phenomenon is being coded
- into hypo-speak, it does not denote an accepted class of bias and
- output operation, and is not an endorsement of quality (except by
- the manufacturers in question).
