Only partially related, but hey, you made me think of it.

In an early computer science class I took, someone in the class couldn't get something to compile. The teacher pointed out a spelling error in her code.

The student said 'but shouldn't it know what I mean?'

I love the compiler errors nowadays. “You need a semicolon here.” “You did not spell this correctly.” I wonder sometimes why it does not just fix it when it is that obvious. However, I then remember just how dumb compilers and computers actually are, and cringe at the possible damage.

I guess we should stop allowing fish imports from China.
