In its defense...if you need to tune one, you probably know the acronym.

It's a common feedback control scheme for signal processing and engineering control more generally.

You are right, but it would be nice to have a step-by-step explanation of how the tuning works. A black box is somewhat unsatisfying.

(And of course it doesn't need to explain what a Laplace transform is, as this is aimed at control engineers)

In the grandparent's defence, I thought it was about a cgroup controller: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cgroup-v1/pids.txt.
