That's the game

redefine the word and hope your definition sticks.



It's not an API it's a Spec

it's not a Spec, it's all our code

which documents itself in the spec

which has all the names in the SSO

the SSO that's in the code

it's not the code it's the names

the SSO of the names

which is the names

Parsing vs. Simulation
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, May 09 2012 @ 08:36 PM EDT
The reason why this game continues is because lawyers don't get their knuckles
rapped for abusing the terminology of the domain that they are representing.

They are lawyers, not domain experts in any domain except law. It should not be
permissible for them to modify or distort domain terminology or domain
understanding as a creative game towards their legal ends.

Unfortunately that's not going to change. Lawyers, judges and politicians (and
priests in some parts of the world) all believe that their competence and domain
jurisdiction has no limits. That's a large contributor to the world being in
the mess it's in.

I should note that it is possible for an emulator to simulate some other program
doing parsing. The two operations are entirely distinguishable, however.

Inasmuch as lawyers would heckle someone for using the wrong legal term, even
pairs of words close in meaning, these two terms are simply too far apart to be
confusing to anyone who understands their meaning. Or in legal terms, it's
about like confusing jurisdiction with standing and not at all like confusing
guilty with liable.
