   It is self-evident that a subset of Turing machines   
   can be Turing complete entirely on the basis of the   
   meaning of the words.   
      
   Every machine that performs the same set of   
   finite string transformations on the same inputs   
   and produces the same finite string outputs from   
   these inputs is equivalent by definition and thus   
   redundant in the set of Turing complete computations.   
      
   Can we change the subject now?

       reliably computable.
