I always assumed Mudcatters were in the business of cultivating the perverse 2% so that it would at least hit double digits.

P.S. I also think one of the other issues is the role playing -- the famous Turing test (can you make a computer that will respond so well that no one will be able to detect that it is not human, in which case it might as well be called human) which has so far only really worked well modelling paranoids who are governed by neurotic machine like responses, and other people whose responses are predictable because of the situations they are in. A salesman and the customer are in a particular rule-guided situation, which is governed by a set of possible responses and counter-responses, and so on. It is not automatically applicable to the rest of human behaviour.
