GIGO: /gi:'goh/ [acronym] 1. `Garbage In, Garbage Out' --
usually said in response to lusers 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.
