Then, on the other side there is the library whose name you should not speak. Just mentioning it. Don't get any books there. It's verboten (= your betters, the publisher, lord over the public word, do NOT like and are not amused). Supposedly there is everything there, I know. It's tempting. But VERBOTEN.

Just wanted to remind people, so they don't inadvertently use the library whose name should not be spoken.

And anybody thinks the corp will be paying you for sending a ambitiously named program
into the meeting, instead of going yourself?

"Why not spend more time with your family?" -- Indeed, why not? Only this will be unpaid time. You can already have this today, without a "digital twin".

"Mother Teresa could not beat those charges,"

I'd hope so. If Mother Teresa had committed these crimes, I'd hope she would not be able "to beat them".
