   What I was trying to say was that while the Concertina II ISA no doubt has   
   many flaws, not being able to crank out useful work is, in my opinion, not   
   one of them.   
      
   On the other hand, driving insane those who attempt to program it or write   
   compilers for it must be admitted to be an obstacle to making use of a   
   given CPU, and so I must admit to its usability being limited in that   
   manner.
