The human language is great, but it fails utterly on some tasks. Which is why we have all the jargon in specialized environment. I'd take any system with a reduced command interface that works well than one that takes generic commands and tries to infer what I mean (meaning it will get it wrong most of the time),especially for vocal interface.
