When you tell someone to do something, do you lament the fact that you can't tell them in a programming language, detailing every single step precisely? When I talk about programming in English, it is not the kind of "programming" that you're used to. It's obviously subject to all the ambiguities and interpretation problems that humans have, yet somehow we manage to get by pretty well with it.

I didn't think I would have to actually explain that. Do you want me to put it to you in a programming language?
