   But can't define the categories in a way that is actually meaningful.   
      
   There is no way to tell by looking at a piece of code which category it   
   belongs to.   
      
   The category error comes from Olcotts ignoring the actual requirments of   
   the problem, and trying to get away with non-programs.
