What does SOTA stand for?
I include a quote from the New Hackers Dictionary, to illustrate my
position:


What's a spline?

[XEROX PARC] This phrase expands to: "You have just used a
term that I've heard for a year and a half, and I feel I should
know, but don't. My curiosity has finally overcome my guilt."
The PARC lexicon adds "Moral: don't hesitate to ask questions,
even if they seem obvious."
