I oddly love the models' engineering vernacular: gate, evidence, culprit, durable, provenance, contract… A lot of these stem from most engineering being debugging and understanding existing systems, where you take on the detective / auditor roles. You do forensics. I wonder what the *minimum viable English* in fact is to be productive. ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English contains ~900 approved words. I suspect we need far fewer.
