A screaming example of academic signaling, but where the "signal" is only _just_ stronger than the noise.

Karnaugh Maps: While I love vocab as much as any other kid out there. We're not calling them " colored-truth-tables " which is what the fuck it is. You're advocating that one is more rigorous than the other. However the only thing which is actually being conveyed is usage OF A TRUTH TABLE!

Academics gleefully accept this more specific vocabulary as a proxy for context knowledge.

Its a (fucking) shit workaround.
