I know the general definitions of Byzantine as related to complex and secretive. The dictionary gives the definitions as:
5. often byzantine
a. Of, relating to, or characterized by intrigue; scheming or devious:
b. Highly complicated; intricate and involved:
So is a Byzantine plot "a" or "b", or is it / can it be a combination of the two? I tried Googling, but got nowhere definitive.
And no, I have nothing better to do this morning.
