"Researchers at Cornell University have proven the old adage, 'bullshit baffles brains.' Those most impressed by the use of corporate jargon are those least well-equipped for analytical thinking."

"The use of the right jargon is a strong guide to the depth of interest in a knowledge domain, and the right use of the right jargon marks concomitant expertise."

"Management jargon misappropriates these uses, because the business of business is not technical but desperately wants to be."

Effective jargon use can indicate expertise and interest, but management jargon often misrepresents the nature of business interactions, which fundamentally involve human relationships and cooperation.
