You're right, it is high on imagination and low on delivery. It's a looooong way from being concrete and actionable. I can't step it up just yet -- all I have right now is the question, which I pose as a thought experiment.

Not really ... it's just awkward wording on my part. I don't really believe this will lead to the One True Language to Rule Them All.
