I think some of the older texts did imply that Lojban would be a *big* help in machine language comprehension. I haven't seen anyone really advocate this recently, though.

But I wanted to throw it in there anyway. :-) Chris Capel -- "What is it like to be a bat? What is it like to bat a bee? What is it like to be a bee being batted?
