Precisely why metadata is so important to describe data.The generic

the true meaning of the measure.

Only if you are an ignorant twit that doesn't understand the definition
of "antenna efficiency" and has to have the definition spelled out to
him each and every time.

snip babble

There are many different expressions that calculate efficiency, so
wouldn't the adornment be the context aka metadata which describes the
expression used to calculate the result? If I write "80% efficiency"on
a piece of paper and hand it to an engineer, how can the engineer know
what is 80% efficient without any metadata being provided?

The engineer would use the context under which the number was provided.

If there were no context the engineer would be justified in concluding that
you were a babbling mental case.
