Yes indeedy.  And isn't it ironic that a whole bunch of folks at
Microsoft still haven't cottoned on.

I thought the closing comment at the end of the web page was cute --
"if you come up with an intuitive technology, you must next find a way
to curb its use" -- but no, I'm not proposing any public policy
position to safeguard individual authorship.

Are we even looking at the same website?

Maybe I caught you without your sense of humor today.  If so, then you
have my apologies.
