Default Technical fly-fishing?

Discussing various threads is fun here, and helps to pass the time until the ice melts.

Anyway, here's a more serious thread for input.

I've been chucking flies for >45 years but often see the terms "technical water", "technical fly-fishing", "technical nymphing", etc., etc., in a number of articles and wonder what the heck they mean by the word "technical". Is it just elitists trying to make the sport more complicated than it should be or trying to scare away newbies and novices from going to a particular piece of water?
