    How is the starvation going? I assume when you go to the store with a shopping list that says “bread,” you stand in front of the bread rack slack jawed. “White bread is not a synonym for bread,” you shout! “Wheat bread does not encompass all breads!” I assume you stand there paralyzed for hours until the clerks finally call the mental health authorities to have you escorted out.

      It’s more comparable to say “let’s ban products from stores” instead of saying a specific product or ingredient.

      An algorithm is just “if this then that”, which is impossible to write software without (not assuming you don’t know, just for anyone else reading).
