I generally agree with you, but have to get this off my chest.

> pareto frontier gap decreasing by the month between open and closed models

We need a temporary moratorium on the words "pareto frontier". Every new model is the pareto frontier by some combination of metrics. Like "Bayesian Priors", people love saying / tweeting it because it sounds Smart.

It's like watching car commercials where every single vehicle has won something from JD Power and Associates. Which, (a), who the hell are they? and (b) you can only pass out so many awards until the gluttony of awards proves the award is worthless.

This isn't targeted to you! It's a pet peeve.
