object reference not set to an instance of an object

An error message that appears in object-oriented programming that makes literally no sense for people who are not extremely familiar with the standard terms in programming.
Person A: It says object reference not set to an instance of an object. WTF is this?
Person B: It just means the object you are trying to use doesn't exist!

A Sub-Object Override is a phenomenon where an object/sub-object has been overidden by either a null state, or a corrupted state. This usually occurs on death, or when an entity is derealized.

Alexandra: Ah, good... I don't need to hear him babbling on about this... hyperoverride... object... quantum... thing!
John: Oh! You must be talking about Sub-Object Override!
Alexandra: Arghh!! Not you!!
John: Bob had his brain overidden into a null state, meaning he currently has no brain and is dead.

Alexandra: What...?
Kyle: And his face is indigo because Object Localization failed to occur, because he has no brain, meaning there is nothing to convert into an atom.
John: That's right!
Alexandra: I have a head-ache...

Polarized Objectivity

When you don't know what to write about in your executive summary and your third group member refuses to do anything so you just make some bullshit up to make it sound like you know what you are talking about.
The factor of speed has not been addressed yet in the article, as its importance is subjected to the user, rather than being something that has polarized objectivity.
