PM Technology

PM (Pure Magic) Technology is slang used by engineers. Machines that run on PM Technology are the opposite of AM Technology, which do actual work. Machines that run on PM Technology don't have to work. They just have to "look" like they work to a lay person. They are low quality, low reliability and undocumented machines that provide erroneous data for convincing non-technical people. Poor managing is typically the cause of PM Technology. Corporate managers like to use the bad data provided by PM technology to spin a story that sounds like AM Technology. At the end of the day, the lay man believes that PM technology is the same as AM Technology while the engineers always know that it runs on nothing but Pure Magic.
