microLenat

from Jargon File (4.4.4, 14 Aug 2003)
microLenat
 /mi:`.kroh.len'.@t/, n.

   The unit of {bogosity}. Abbreviated uL or mL in ASCII Consensus is
   that this is the largest unit practical for everyday use. The
   microLenat, originally invented by David Jefferson, was promulgated as
   an attack against noted computer scientist Doug Lenat by a {tenured
   graduate student} at CMU. Doug had failed the student on an important
   exam because the student gave only "AI is bogus" as his answer to the
   questions. The slur is generally considered unmerited, but it has
   become a running gag nevertheless. Some of Doug's friends argue that
   of course a microLenat is bogus, since it is only one millionth of a
   Lenat. Others have suggested that the unit should be redesignated
   after the grad student, as the microReid.
