Michael Levin recalls his dad complaining about 'calculator slop' during the student-calculator debate of his youth, then extends the joke: bring on the shade for Excel slop, dictionary slop, eyeglasses slop, spell-check slop, bicycle slop. A replier adds that PowerPoint was professionally shamed just years ago and is now a 'protected class' — a riff on how each new tool triggers the same panic cycle.
