A child can tell the difference between a sound made by intent or by 
accident- scientists can't tell the difference, and that's one of their 
prime failures.
Science can't tell the difference between a ream of paper and the works of 
Shakespeare; tin cans rolling down a hill and Mozart, a spill on the floor 
and Van Gogh.
And, if you don't speak to the question, you get no useful answer.
