microLenat: /mi:`-kroh-len'-*t/ n. The unit of bogosity.
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.
