We know what "Error 33" means. But why 33? Why not 23 or 43 or...?

But why 33? "Catch 22" came from a book;
"four-oh-four" comes from an
HTTP error code. Where did the number 33 come from?

"Error 33": when the success of your
research depends on the success
of
someone else's research. I think it was
coined at PARC, but I'm not
sure of that.
Marvin.
That's the attribution (PARC) given in the Jargon File.
