   This has always only been complete ignorance   
   of the deep meaning of: unify_with_occurs_check()   
      
   Ungrounded is a term that computer scientists,   
   mathematicians and logicians never heard of thus   
   they conclude it is complete nonsense on the   
   basis of their own ignorance.
