Actually, that isn't true everywhere in the computer world. In the Lisp
and Smalltalk communities, for example, people have understood
"environment" correctly (and in the way you're using "ambience") for a
very long time. The meaning is very much like that evoked by
"environmentalists" when describing the natural world.
And you probably want to say "probably" or "actually" instead of
"provably". :)
