And different things in different contexts, at different times and/or to 
different people.

I've just been doing some programming work where my primary contact 
knows the what the data means and is for, but not much about how data is 
stored and processed. In mid stream, her company switched project work 
at the mainframe end from a group in Winnipeg to a group in the 
Phillipines. Not too confusing, but I'm making a few extra $ from the 
inevitable confusion. $370 so far today from their confusion between 
CRLF and LF only as a record delimiter in various version of a file 
extract from a mainframe. Sometimes confusion is good. :-)
