Well, here's an excerpt that makes me wince:

   Metcalfe stated that the value of a system equals the
   square of its nodes. The ARB team sees that value
   because its Internet sites are organized and supported
   organically. The knowledge of the organization increases
   exponentially as everyone participates in sharing their
   knowledge.

So, is the increase exponential or parabolic?

And don't even get me started on "organically"....
