But exactly the reverse is what Institute of Chartered Accountants of India teaches in the subject of "Management Information and Control Systems" which is a separate 100 marks paper in our CA syllabus.

The word may imply different things in different context. When used in the Free Software or academic circles, it is what KK defines it as. For a lay person, when used in a technical context, it almost always implies cracking. When used in context of farming it means cutting grass. When used in the military/terrorist/killer context, it means killing people.
and in golf it means what a clueless n00b does
