Nicholas Epley著 "Mindwise" を読んでいます。
Nobody would want a world in which every half-baked or self-indulgent thought was put on public display. TMI, indeed. But pulling back the curtain and opening up a bit more often, when your own perspective matters and when that perspective is wanted, benefits both those who give their perspective as well as those who are willing to use it.

略語の "TMI" が分かりません。辞書を見ます。

・Oxford English Dictionary: Too much information (used to indicate that someone has revealed personal information of an embarrassing nature): ‘each cough was having a rather disastrous effect on my bladder (sorry, TMI!)’

・Merriam-Webster Dictionary: too much information: Avoid offering up TMI. Find out what prompted your kid's query and what she thinks you'll say. Then answer only the question asked. —used especially to suggest that someone has revealed personal information that would better be kept private

オリンピックの間、ラグビー(7人制を含め)の試合を幾つも見て、その時にビデオ判定のTMOの表示が何度も出てきたので、TMITMOを連想してしまいました。TMOはTelevison Match Officialの略で、ラグビーでのビデオ判定を意味しています。
What is the TMO in the Six Nations and is it the same as VAR?
Brought in way back in 2001 in its most basic form, the TMO has been designed to help aid rugby referees in their decision making.
サッカーでのビデオ判定はTMOではなく、VARと言うのですね。Video Assistant Refereeの略です。
又、テニスではビデオ判定の要求はチャレンジと言ってますね。
In 2008, rules for player challenges using Hawk-Eye technology became uniform throughout professional tennis.
スポーツによってビデオ判定のシステムが違うのですね。
