It can be even looser than that, it can even just mean any server-side call that is inherently cache-able, meaning the same request will return the same data.

"Static" meaning "Not changing over time" rather than "Dynamic" meaning "changing over time". That usage is not common outside of math, but I have on occasion seen it used this way when discussing web programming.

On a related note, does anyone else remember a study (I think linked here) that measured certainty / uncertainty in individuals?

The idea was that it asked open ended questions, ranging from questions such as "What is the GDP of USA" to "How many days in a lunar cycle" or "How many symphonies did Beethoven compose" and would not only present a handful of options for the answer but also ask you to self-rate how accurately you think you knew the answer.

The idea was not to measure the actual responses, but to look at how well people know whether they know things.

I found it very interesting and it reminded of this: I wonder how measures on that scale relate to learning agility.
