Something which precision machinery often needs a higher quality of than some robust but SLOW old beaten-up heap of rust, in order to do what precision machinery does best: Run circles around the jalopy.

Now, you idiot, try to guess whether you're the Porsche or the Yugo in this story... Here are some helpful hints (which I'm sure you'll need):

Hint 1: Your bragging about taking misspellings and lousy grammar in your stride has to do with your tolerance for low-quality input.

Hint 2: There's a difference between reading whole words or sentence fragments at a time, and stumbling along each word letter by letter (possibly sounding them out?) until one reaches the end of the word. The latter method leaves one more time to ponder what word each series of letters *might* be meant to represent[*], whereas the former demands a more well-formed input stream.

Hint 3: The fact that you didn't get this rather obvious analogy to begin with *might* tell you something. (I'm sure you won't be listening, though.)

[*]: A process which is probably more helped than hindered if one isn't too sure of the correct spelling to begin with; in stead of matching against a *correctly* spelled mental image (which wouldn't match for misspelled words), it's matching one fuzzy image against another... Bound to find a match somewhere -- although, depending on the relative fuzziness of the images, it might of course as often as not be the wrong one. Some people would balk because the sentences one gets that way often don't make sense, but you probably take that in your stride, too... After all, with a mind built of fuzzy mental images to begin with, you probably don't even notice, do you?

BTW: Somehow, Bryce, I'm not very surprised that thinking about how your mind might work brings us to the subject of fuzzy mental images.

...since we already knew you're on an intellectual par -- at best -- with Bryce.

So, when are you going to explain how spouting the official Regime-sanctioned propaganda of your little non-Democracy shows any particular "courage" on your part?

But yes, there's a big difference: "Marlowe" is an idiot and bigoted.

There are non-overlapping traits in what we know of them, so I can't tell to what extent their characters are similar in these respects -- I don't know if "Marlowe" is lazy, or whether Bryce is bigoted (except against good programming, of course).

I certainly am too fucking lazy to try (any more than I already have) to teach you to fucking think!

You either gotta learn for yourself, or learn to live without the ability.

Your choice.
