If a human operator can make changes with a computer language, then a human programmer can make a computer operator that makes changes autonomously

Theoretically yes (of course) but Bash can make it tricky.
The purpose of the shell is to allow users to interact with the grid. You can't do this in a conventional OS shell. Example: if you are using /bin/sh on linux-host-a and want to affect something running on linux-host-b, you can't. In a SSI shell, you can affect resources from a set of machines from a single shell.
You could offer something like shell scripting on that, but my system did not and there are better options. For example: have the resource manager expose a command that offers a DSL for making system-wide changes.
