AM (Actual Machine) Technology is a slang term used by Engineers who are educated and understand the inner workings of a machine. Machines that run on AM technology are well understood, well documented, provide reliable results and are much easier to explain to a lay person. AM Technology is the opposite of PFM or PM Technology. Engineers who give a shit or are given the time to do their jobs right will create AM Technology.

Boss: "Great! Write up a summary to present in our meeting tomorrow. Leave out all of that technical jargon that nobody understands!"
Engineer: "Don't worry, it runs on AM technology. Even a layman like yourself would understand after reading these documents."

PM (Pure Magic) Technology is slang used by engineers. Machines that run on PM Technology are the opposite of AM Technology, which do actual work. Machines that run on PM Technology don't have to work. They just have to "look" like they work to a lay person. They are low quality, low reliability and undocumented machines that provide erroneous data for convincing non-technical people. Poor managing is typically the cause of PM Technology. Corporate managers like to use the bad data provided by PM technology to spin a story that sounds like AM Technology. At the end of the day, the lay man believes that PM technology is the same as AM Technology while the engineers always know that it runs on nothing but Pure Magic.
Young Engineer: "Did you see the data that the bossman presented at that meeting today? That didn't make sense at all did it?"
Old Engineer: "I made the machine that created that data. That thing doesn't really work. It runs on PM technology!"
Young Engineer: "Shouldn't we fix that?"
Old Engineer: "That's not in the budget!"
