UAMI: Unilaterally Assured Mutual Incomprehension. The equilibrium that results from one person both refusing to explain themselves or make the effort to understand the other.

This is why we wrote our #nlproc book using barebones PyTorch with good software engineering practices. We were tired of seeing either high level code or poorly written code.
