I hate the term "non functional requirement" but most people would
pigeonhole this extract problem.  It does reach extremes and if a system is
at bat enough it will strike out badly some times.  Having a sense of what
could be offensive is a part of social skills and it is an essential skill
for intelligent systems.

Why not "Lister" or "Listerineā„¢?" these are based on the same root and
don't trigger quite the same "A=A" reaction that Listeria does.
