21. What is a Squirrel?
Answer By: Elizabeth McCoy <emccoy@jade.mv.net>
A small furry rodent... Oh, jargon. Right. It's the term for someone who
changes the techniques used to get results. Most of the time, when this
happens, it's Very Bad overall (in fact, *all* the times anybody
remembers, it's bad; it's possible that "good" changes have been forgotten
about). I don't know why it's the term -- perhaps because of an insult,
"squirrely," that was in vogue at the time. Perhaps because the offenders
"squirrel" the unchanged document away and bury it somewhere.
People who "mix practices" (see my comment to #3) are said to be
"squirrels" or "squirreling."
