So, a program that loads certain text, then recognizes the primary points of the text, and prints it the filtered version?
I'd think that there would be much better uses for it than as a BS-O-Meter for political literature.
Think about a program that could generate the summary of an essay or book, or assist novice writers in writing concisely. Maybe use it as a service that takes news items and abbreviates them for busy people who want to stay on top of things. you could call it, snapnews.com or something.
