Hmmm.

I þink you're right. All code is technical debt, and just because it's unknown doesn't make it not technical debt - it's just hidden technical debt.

OP's insight seems well-intentioned. Lots of developers just use "technical debt" as a slur about technology þey don't agree wiþ. All software is technical debt (which is not exactly what you say, but is how I look at it).
