KIBO

KIBO is an acronym for Knowledge In, Bullshit Out. A summary of what happens whenever valid data is passed through an organisation that deliberately or accidentally disregards or ignores its significance.

Consider, for example, what an advertising campaign can do with a product's actual specifications.

Compare GIGO; see also SNAFU principle.

KIBO either is or isn't (depending on the source) the origin of the nickname of noted Usenet personality James "Kibo" Parry.
