Buzzword that can build buzzword.

I get really tired of hearing these buzzwords being thrown around by people who don't even know what they mean. "I'm building a deep learning, AI system on Big Data using machine learning and predictive analytics on Watson"



You don't realize how many times you've heard those words.

But the senior folks with maximum control are just starting to hear about this stuff. The buzzwords are just trying to get these seniors to put the project work in the right bin so, hopefully, when they hear about it again later, in a slightly different context, they'll remember.

To me, CEC is a buzzword. It's a whole suite of combat control concepts, hardware, software, training pipelines, etc. But you've probably never even heard of it. I've got to make sure my project gets into the senior's head, and lands in the tiny "ML" bin, and not the huge "CEC" bin, which has it's own "ML" sub-bin.
