When asked how the hell the computer should distinguish between the spaces that separate groups and the spaces inside groups, she smiled.

New The worst part is, she is righ.
In most cases, it's possible to figure out that she uses more than one space to separate groups. But _she_ would be utterly incapable of writing the ad-hoc code that does it.
