Subject: RE: BS: Computerized directions
The truth is the computer was the sub-idiot in the equation. The toughest thing for a user to learn is how to be as moronic as software, since the user is accustomed to trillions of discriminations and shades of value where the computer can barely master a thousand or two.

The impersonation of intelligence by being able to come up with seemingly coherent strings written by a UI designer disguises the fact that all the so-called intelligence behind those human-designed screens is of the lowest possible grade -- literal, undifferentiating, unable to adapt, and unable to perceive. So your anonymous and unkindly comment is not only unbecoming, it is likewise short-sighted, misanthropic and insensitive. Or do you think it is intelligent to associate "Cars of the Stars" with music without any consultation?
