I suppose they do - I didn't really think about it; I was just responding to Herouth's allegory, where cows are milked manually. Assuming that they are automated, that shows that people _can_ learn automatization and abstraction :-) At least to the level necessary to operate a robotic cow milker, once someone builds it for them. -- Dan Armak Matan, Israel Public GPG key: http://cvs.gentoo.org/~danarmak/danarmak-gpg-public.key
