GIGO
( /gi:´goh/)
1. `Garbage In, Garbage Out' -- usually said in response to {luser}s
who complain that a program didn't "do the right thing" when given
imperfect input or otherwise mistreated in some way. Also commonly
used to describe failures in human decision making due to faulty,
incomplete, or imprecise data.
2. Garbage In, Gospel Out: this more recent expansion is a sardonic
comment on the tendency human beings have to put excessive trust in
`computerized' data.
