I'm reminded of the old joke about the first demonstration of a new Army
supercomputer. A multistar general decides that its first question should
be something really important, like, "When will the world end?" The question
is dutifully typed in, the machine chews on it for a few seconds, and then
suddenly types out an answer: "Yes".

"YES? YES!?" shouts the general. "What kind of answer is that?" There is an
embarrassed pause while the technicians briefly huddle but the computer is
faster than they are. It quickly types out "Yes, SIR!"
