What is better, Verilog or VHDL?
There is, as far as I know, no English word that describes this class of
question.
If there was a word, it would mean this:
"A vexatious question of which the meaning is unknowable unless the
enquirer already knows the answer; of which the answerer is likely to
have even less knowledge than the enquirer; to which the answer is
almost invariably incorrect; and of which the answer, in the unlikely
circumstance that it was actually correct, would be of no practical
value anyway."
Now, I suspect that there may be a Germanic (or Slavonic?) word that
describes all this perfectly, and which we could steal and put in the
dictionary next to schadenfreude. Over to you, Karel.
