So that's what administrators are paid for. Inventing new ways to say nothing.

No it means you do things a little at a time. First the very broad outline, at a level the kids can understand, then more details and more sophistication later. Just because a term isn't familiar to the general public, or is used differently in a particular profession or area, doesn't indicate it means nothing.

What do you know about positive and negative feedback for example. The way those words are used in popular culture are not what they originally meant in the engineering and science community.
