"It's not prototypical" "I'm modeling the prototype"
A prototype is suppose to be a pre - production stage,
What's the skinny on the how the term is used here?
It means the original; therefore, what the industry was actually using is the prototype for the modeler. I suspect the term is used because every group cherishes its insider slang and terminology.
