I never quite got why "Turing Complete" keeps cropping up here.

That's easy. Anything containing the word "Turing" is to computer
science what "cogito ergo sum" is to epistemology, Godel's theorems
are to mathematical logic, the collective unconscious is to Jungian
psychology, and E=mc^2 is to physics: significant for specialists
but mostly just free smart points requiring no real understanding
for the average Usenet blabbermouth or wanker on the street.

(Disclaimer: I'm guilty of using "imperative" and a few others
to sound smart. I wouldn't be surprised if I've tossed out
"Turing Complete".)
