I cannot get enough of our shared Vulgar Technobabble that we #ComputerScientists speak. Even #ACM #TuringAward winning blokes speak this way.🤣

Interviewer—What is a good way to understand what #ModelChecking is and what it does?

#AllenEmerson—[staring intently at his toes] Well, uh, in "layman's terms", model checking is an algorithmic method of verifying correctness of nominally finite state systems, uh, against a specification that's typically given in temporal logic. Uh, if the model checker, the model checking tool that's been implemented, uh, returns "yes", then the system is correct. If it, uh, returns "no", the specification is violated, and a counterexample is produced.

Sure, we get it; it is but #SoftwareVerification in so many words. But does a "layman" get it?
