I think we need a better name than "MWE"

Hi all,

Here on the LyX list we use the word MWE to mean the simplest example
that still exhibits the symptom. But MWE stands for Minimum *Working*
Example, and by definition, the file that exhibits the symptom does not
"work". Also, I think I've seen MWE used on various LaTeX venues to
mean the smallest file that works, for a specific feature you want to
incorporate.

Can anyone think of a better name for the tiniest file that exhibits a
symptom?

Thanks,
