is english a second language for you? 'orthogonal' is frequently used to indicate two things are not directly related or dependent.

nope, nope, nope. that site's a hive of scum and villainy, and a massive number of entries are just random nonsense.

i'd rather go to wiktionary[0], which includes:

"Of two or more problems or subjects, independent of or irrelevant to each other."
