In his post Xan referred to me as Mr Kovács and I pointed out that in the conetxt of my home country it may be an insult. It is a subtle tone of irony, like when in our broadcast crimials are referred to as gentlemen. But that is not the point. The point is that one cannot decide an issue, because it is a question of intent.Intentions are rarely possible to verify or evidenced. But they are very important as in our thinking we all anticipate something to happen in this world around us. This is why Charles Simonyi has set up a company in Hungary to program intention. And this is why someone wrote a book The paranoids will survive.I do not know about that. But I am sure this is is one of the resons why approaching MT with statistical methods is hopeless.Cheers, frank
