the only proof anyone cares about; everything before it is just rehearsal
means The amount of something produced, or the data or result a system, machine, or process puts out.
from A plain English compound: 'out' + 'put' — literally what is 'put out.' The pairing dates back centuries (a cousin of 'input' and 'throughput'), originally describing physical quantities pushed forth, like coal from a mine or goods from a factory. It only later spread to computers and economics, where it still means the same honest thing: the stuff that comes out the other end.
