Theology

1. Ironically or humorously used to refer to religious issues.

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.
