Sorry, no time to continue the debate. You're welcome to keep believing, and human-languages interactions sure would be neat at any level, but I'm coming from too pragmatic an angle to believe this will happen before a complete mapping of the human brain or the singularity.

Ummm straw man there.
My point was just that computer languages which leverage people's existing understanding of natural languages do better than those which don't. I said way up at the beginning of my post that the constraints were totally different and that natural languages are quite a bit further from computer languages than we like to think.
I thought we were talking about likeness, not substitutability.
