There's a Peter Drucker quote, I believe, that I can't manage to find, but goes something along these lines (totally paraphrasing):

Businessmen tend to use fancy jargon for mundane things, which gives more exciting and important trappings to what is, in reality, a tremendously dull job. We should let them have it -- somewhat obfuscated language is a small price to pay to let them feel a little bit better about the boring tasks they accomplish day in and day out.
