The act or process of subjecting something to an intensely deep, often uncomfortably revealing, and highly speculative examination or analysis. It's a metaphorical "opening up" of a concept, situation, or even a person, to scrutinize its hidden depths, much like a medical speculum provides a thorough view, but applied to abstract ideas or complex issues. Often implies a process of inquiry that might be intrusive or expose details that were previously concealed or merely conjectured.
Example 1: "His political commentary was pure speculumization, diving into the murky motivations behind every policy decision with a clinical, almost unsettling precision."
Example 2: "After an hour of intense questioning, the celebrity felt the interview had descended into pure speculumization of her personal life."
Example 3: "The academic paper presented a groundbreaking speculumization of ancient philosophical texts, unearthing previously overlooked interpretations."

Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.
