> It should have an article (the) in such a case. I'm not quite sure what you mean. tetris11's meaning is clear, and I was just making a whimsical observation, but I think it is possible (though clearly wrong in context) to parse: > Nature is really good at giving you a spec with examples and guidelines you need to adhere to as telling you something about the behavior of nature, analogous to "nature does nothing in vain" (Google's first auto-complete suggestion when I asked it for a sample sentence).
