This exchange is almost like the original AI koan: | A cocky novice once said to Stallman: "I can guess why the editor is | called Emacs, but why is the justifier called Bolio?" | | Stallman replied forcefully: "Names are but names, 'Emack & Bolio's' | is the name of a popular ice cream shop in Boston-town. Neither of | these men had anything to do with the software." | | His question answered, yet unanswered, the novice turned to go, but | Stallman called to him: "Neither Emack nor Bolio had anything to do | with the ice cream shop, either."
