Too technical

Wikipedia has a category for articles that are too technical for most readers to understand. Some surprisingly common concepts in this category:
Social Darwinism
Bayes's theorem
Spacetime
America's army equipment
Then again, we also have:
Iterative Viterbi Decoding
Grad-Shafranov equation
Boerhaave syndrome (ew . . . don't read that one)

The link for Viterbi Decoding has an errant '/' at the end of it.

About

Psst! This is the blog of Moira Burke, a Ph.D. student in the HCI Institute at Carnegie Mellon University.
Rife with derivative pop culture blather, this site occasionally features thoughts on social psychology, usability, aesthetics, and the general meanderings of someone figuring out the meaning of life. Won't you help me find it?
