> inter-window introspection
This oxymoron is a pet peeve of mine. If it's inter-window, then it's just inspection. Introspection is when something inspects itself, but people seem to think it just means inspecting anything technical.
Great post though, I just needed to get that off my chest
Mine too! (Perhaps we should introspect each other to determine why we feel this way....)
I find it particularly ironic or confusing because introspection seems so much less likely/more rarely to occur in anything technical; so why does it get that association? Because you're right, people do seem to use it as though it means 'highly technical inspection' or something.
Technically its still the computer inspecting itself.
