Off course not! This is an inside joke of this news group populated
by such knoledgeable ai hackers that it was possible to carry out
a discussion around "Feigenbaum's Eliza Program" for a good dozen
exchanges without anyone caring to rectify the mistake. Finally

So much from telling humans from other humans...
