Some years ago, I had the idea of coding a pope emulator (actually, the
type of pope I had in mind was already Ratzi, who has always been my
favourite ayatollah), alas that came to nothing due to the difficulty to
implement the crucial feature of infallibility: Thought of something
like '#pragma bugs off', but that's too much Muenchhausen to be
informative. It's evident that -er- utterings that are supposed to be
always true cannot have much - if any - semantic content, so a virtual
pope would be an ideal source of purpose-free information. But there's
no need to patent Ratzi, den macht uns keiner nach.
Sorry for being off topic,

Thank you. I fear though that I am not concerned with instructional information, but rather with information whether or not it has a purpose or has any semantic content.
