I wasn't. I was talking from an 'engineering pragmatism' point of view 
:)

My iPhone's keyboard isn't sentient, yet it still manages a reasonable 
approximation to 'guess' what I'm trying to type.

Amazon's database isn't sentient, yet it still manages to suggest 
reasonable things based on its 'knowledge' of what I've bought before.

These are just algorithms running over input data of course, but they 
make a jolly good job of approximating a task which (at first sight) 
might appear to be something which requires some sort of human behind 
them to 'understand' what is going on.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
