There's a movie called Belle which is basically exactly this story to some degree.

Wouldn't the results of this be a bit skewed though? I mean, putting them in the 1.0 Version of a specific technology and asking them to do something and then comparing it to the years of training done another way doesn't seem like a very good test. It sounds like the soldiers would need to be brought up and trained using this kind of equipment for months and months to actually determine the viability of it. As a gamer, just think of a new UI when a familiar game releases a new title. It's a bit jarring and tough to get used to until you've immersed yourself in it over the course of months. Take that several levels forward and I can understand why doing it "the old way" would look superior.

In the article, they do go into this a bit but it seems the preference for the old equipment is likely rooted in the unfamiliarity of the new equipment, but also that the 1.0 equipment just isnt...where it needs to be. Which I suppose makes sense.

Though, I think that we should keep investing in the technology because eventually it will be where it needs to be and be a benefit.

>So, I doubt we're all on the same page about it being 'only' a sexual slang.

Yeah, agreed. 100% feel like most "sexual slang" can be applied to...a lot of different scenarios that arent sexual and describe the object or event in question better than other phrases might.

To be fair...Among adults who have clearly had sex...and have children...How is that in anyway offensive to use around them? We all know what it means. Balls deep. All the way in. I mean, it still means the same as "buried up your neck", its just a different head...and a different neck..and different balls.

​

But the message is the same - ergo, who cares? and if so...why get hung up on anything like that in the first place?
