Well obviously humans are more slovenly than that. Though talking was never a requirement, and indeed the Turing test could be run through a succession of emails. Or perhaps a forum like HN. So it's not unreasonable. Though your right, and if a computer were to try to imitate a human, a better strategy would be about as slovenly as my post is.
