"index" concept, my explanation routinely says "This concept is called 'index'
but it has nothing to do with any associations you make with that word. Better
remember this thingy as *** and replace the termin 'index' with *** every time
you read about it." where "***" is my preferred translation. The facial
expressions of the audience regarding "index" regularly confirm this approach
as the better one. I never encountered anyone who says "Oh, but isn't 'index'
a much better term for this than what you said..."
So the *** is cut out here, or do you literally advise to think of a
black magic box here?
I'd be interested to know your preferred translation, maybe that can
be used instead
of Staging-Area then?
