Perhaps a non-statistical approach might be so. I believe Google has
been sufficiently open about the deficiencies of their methodology.

The people of Burma will eventually find out the truth. Both in terms
of how dificult it is to perform machine translation, and in the non-

Thus Google has helped indirectly, simply by the showing the people
how desperate the regime is.
