Meaningless snarl? How DRY is your code, and have any refactoring attempts been made to dry up the code. Do you have unused functions, methods, classes that are there because you think you might need them in the future. Does every binary have all the code for other architectures that are not specific to the current platform of execution. Etc... I could go on with several more examples, but it's the exact opposite of illusionary.



If everyone has a different definition, the term has no real definition. That's my point.


Those aren't different definitions, they're all examples of artifact waste. If something has multiple examples, it doesn't mean it has multiple definitions.


Except your example of "extra" is my example of "just enough".


I didn't use the word extra.
