The question then becomes how does one determine whether a term one is using needs defining? Does OO? How about FP? Or TDD? Is there a metric for how many years or how many journals etc a concept needs to exist within before we just assume people know it? If something is ridiculously obvious to you, does that necessarily hold true for everyone else? Or is it just easier to assume that people within a specific domain have the means to fill in their gaps of understanding themselves? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
