Just what is a "byzantine process" anyway? Wasn't Byzantine an empire? How can an empire be a process?
As far as I can tell it is a process that excludes newcomers. I guess that makes some degree of sense.
Anyone have a better definition?

From dictionary.com:
byzantine
adjective
3. highly complex or intricate and occasionally devious; "the Byzantine tax structure"; "Byzantine methods for holding on to his chairmanship"; "convoluted legal language"; "convoluted reasoning"; "the plot was too involved"; "a knotty problem"; "got his way by labyrinthine maneuvering"; "Oh, what a tangled web we weave"- Sir Walter Scott; "tortuous legal procedures"; "tortuous negotiations lasting for months"
A byzantine process is a process that 'tells lies', i.e. it continues to work, but gives wrong results
Literally yes?
