From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   neats vs. scruffies n.   The label used to refer to one of the
   continuing {holy wars} in AI research.   This conflict tangles
   together two separate issues.   One is the relationship between human
   reasoning and AI; `neats' tend to try to build systems that `reason'
   in some way identifiably similar to the way humans report themselves
   as doing, while `scruffies' profess not to care whether an algorithm
   resembles human reasoning in the least as long as it works.   More
   importantly, neats tend to believe that logic is king, while
   scruffies favor looser, more ad-hoc methods driven by empirical
   knowledge.   To a neat, scruffy methods appear promiscuous,
   successful only by accident, and not productive of insights about
   how intelligence actually works; to a scruffy, neat methods appear
   to be hung up on formalism and irrelevant to the hard-to-capture
   `common sense' of living intelligences.
