on ywlee@aisunk.cs.uiuc.edu suggestion to "recognize hard goals"...
actually it would seem that "impossible" is the right word.
ie, this is not the same as the halting problem. eg, suppose
i have a goal of living to be 10,000 years old. i should recognize
this as impossible and abandon searching for ways to achieve the goal.
(note i am not saying that such goals may never be achieved, but in
a commonsense notion, such a goal is impossible.)
