theology

1. Ironically or humorously used to refer to religiousissues.

2. Technical fine points of an abstruse nature, especially

those where the resolution is of theoretical interest but is

relatively marginal with respect to actual use of a design

or system. Used especially around software issues with a

heavy AI or language-design component, such as the smart-data

vs. smart-programs dispute in AI.
