A satirical BOFH column depicts an IT team routinely inventing management statistics because nobody checks them, using polished charts to make the figures look credible. It matters chiefly as a comic critique of corporate reporting culture, where presentation and plausible excuses can outweigh accurate operational information.

The narrator and PFY claim they have used successive technological buzzwords—from Y2K and blockchain to Covid, cyber attacks and AI—to explain questionable data. When the Boss notices inconsistent, invented units such as “terafloptules”, the PFY responds with an absurd explanation that Google would not yet recognise newly created terminology, continuing the joke about unchallenged jargon.
