I'm troubled by the focus of this article on the use of jargon to obfuscated - I don't think it's at all the primary usage of the term. It seems to me primarily a disparagement of bad science fiction - something that is woefully undercovered in the article. Phil Sandifer 17:36, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't want to see the definition as 'jargon to obfuscate' removed, but feel free to prune it back, and expand on the literary usage. I understand technobabble to be a varient of psychobabble or eduspeak, but certainly other uses exist. Tom Harrison Talk 18:29, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is on the wrong subject

"Technobabble" refers primarily to Science Fiction as Phil says above. Certainly that should be the focus of this article. In fact, are there any sources at all to support the definition here that is given as primary? I have placed the {{sources}} and {{accuracy}} tags on this page until these issues are addressed. -- SCZenz 06:26, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
