That was meant to be pivotal on the idea of "zone specific storage"
et. al.

Conjointly, if you look at things like the "multi-zone comfort
controls" in a car, you discover that the physical boundaries of such
things are also a little fuzzy.

Computer science is absolutely plagued with terms that sound very certain and
well delineated but are about as useful and specific as the same text with the
word "thingy" substituted therein.

These words are semantic uncertainties. They are deliberately chosen and invoked
as such.

Watching the law trying to argue these uncertainties into a certainty is like
watching twelve monkeys trying to reassemble a banana.
