Sorry, I disagree. The original Saltzer/Clark/Reed paper does a pretty
good job, I think - as well as one can do with a broad architectural
concept, which is inherently not as susceptible to precise definition as,
say, an algorithm.

No, people being bozos and not using the term _as it wss originally
defined_ are what has made its use problematic.
