   Do you understand that a finite string machine description   
   is not itself a directly executing Turing machine?   
      
   You keep missing nuances of meaning in my above paragraph   
   because you don't actually read my words you only glance at them.   
      
   This is probably because of your attention deficit disorder.   
   What I find that I must do to avoid missing important semantic   
   meanings is that I have to read the same words over and over   
   a few times.
