"Very interesting, but stupid."

Uh, do you have digital speakers?  Mine are still on order :-)
This is like saying that books are binary, because you can store
them in ASCII format.  On some technical level it's true, but it
also doesn't mean anything.  Why is it that some computer scientists
tend to see the world as a device for understanding computers,
rather than the other way around?
