   Interesting, and very funny!   
   But I'm convincing, also thank to this thread, that these problems are   
   categorizable as pretended intelligence.   
   Probably my original question is badly posed: it seems impossible to   
   write a piece of simple code without the necessary abstractions.   
   So for now I'm directing my efforts toward building a body of reflex   
   actions.
