Picard programming tip: A computer is like a mischievous genie. It will give you exactly what you ask for, but not always what you want.

@PicardTips - this is very much along the line of truths as explained in 'Sister Mary Ignatius Explains it all for You' by Christopher Durang -

"Are all our prayers answered? Yes, they are; what people who ask that question often don’t realize is that sometimes the answer to our prayer is 'no.'"

So a computer may be less like than a mischievous genie and more like a delusional nun.
