I am aware that multiple meanings dominate your mind. Indeed the mindscape of the overly associative is altered from reality itself. When I was walking down Yonge street with you last March and you commented "great sex show eh?" it became apparent that the girls were wearing more clothes than was registering in your (un)consciousness. Getting to naked meaning may be just as hard for the poor little machine which has no central core of gist, as it is for some individuals to see that what is; not what they want to see. The machine has to take all the clothes off the sentence and get to the meaning behind the metaphor. Only then will it know what holding water means. The hero wants either a bathroom or a proof. The solution will be to have a gist interpolator which compares the logic presumed of the sentence to the other ones in the piece. It will fail when out of context though. The things that do not translate are idiom. Strangely law is one of the most idiomatic of languages and a project for translating law books from Fr to Engl. failed recently. Apparently the complexity of reference in the languages was too much for the machine. It is not surprising since legalese defeats the best intentioned humaines too. It was designed that way. And it is supposed to be the most unambiguously denotative! I suspect Babblefish is trying too hard. If it just did literal stuff it might get the meaning more plain. I speak Fr that way I get spit on very little. EC<:-}
