highly adv.

[scientific computation] The preferred modifier for overstating an understatement. As in: `highly nonoptimal', the worst possible way to do something; `highly nontrivial', either impossible or requiring a major research project; `highly nonlinear', completely erratic and unpredictable; `highly nontechnical', drivel written for [luser]s, oversimplified to the point of being misleading or incorrect (compare [drool-proof paper]). In other computing cultures, postfixing of [in the extreme] might be preferred.
