And then you come right back to the problem in creating that 3rd level of obscurity... you know computer science, is an important modern field which impacts nearly everyone in the here and now -> but the terminology may well be obscure to those outside the field and have poor google scoring (actually not likely when you think about it). On the other hand, you may have a word almost never used since 1895 because it deals with handling combat horses, and yet it has more google presence because its in a famous literary text copied over and over and talked about by high school history teachers. "P" is a complicated enough line to draw. "Obscure" seems like an exercise in randomizing the logic of the dictionary. |
