I guess it is limited to specific industries. Check the product description of Mathworks Simulink, which has many examples of things rightfully called model. In reality though (I don't have a reference for that, just my own observation

There are people who consider software written, I mean painted, or as they say modelled, in the language of e.g. Simulink to be of higher value than other representations of code. The reason for this is probably different use of the same te

Early ones at least had some parts from ducks, but there's no relation to ducts at all. Ducts are not sealed using duct tape. Language should be updated to call it reinforced self-adhesive tape or something.

A small inconsistency: The "i"nfo button claims it is also converting Kelvin, but those don't seem to be displayed. Kelvin is not degrees, probably the info text is wrong. Could the compass get the magnetic heading from the b
