"Imagine trying to build a talking machine by designing
 it to obey rules like 'Don't split infinitives' or 'Never
 begin a sentence with because.' It would just sit there.
 In fact, we already have machines that don't split
 infinitives; they're called screwdrivers, bathtubs,
 cappuccino-makers, and so on."
