The two scariest words in technical English are "accidentally quadratic".

  Oh, I don't know about that :-) If we are looking for the two scariest words, "intermittent failure" would be my candidate.

    Mine too. I can find the quadratic source, but intermittent failure can suck up all your time.

      Ok, it is Halloween. How about we go with "accidentally intermittently quadratic"? Is that scary enough for ya?
