    A catalytic converter also might be part of a wood stove. A lay-person may have no idea what a hash table is, or if they are also used in fields other than computer science.

    Why would you specify that it’s a turbo encabulator, everyone knows they’re all turbo.

      It feels just as odd to say “a component of fuel consuming engines called a catalytic converter”. You’re missing the point.
