/mi:"-kroh-len"-*t/ The unit of bogosity, written uL; the

consensus is that this is the largest unit practical for

everyday use. The microLenat, originally invented by David

Jefferson, was promulgated as an attack against noted computer

scientist Doug Lenat by a tenured graduate student at

CMU. Doug had failed the student on an important exam for

giving only "AI is bogus" as his answer to the questions. The

slur is generally considered unmerited, but it has become a

running gag nevertheless. Some of Doug's friends argue that

*of course* a microLenat is bogus, since it is only one

millionth of a Lenat. Others have suggested that the unit

should be redesignated after the grad student, as the

microReid.
