Natural Language is a programming language. It is unlike artificial programming languages that have inherent design structure to minimize ambiguity to enforce the user to express its intent clearly. Natural Language depends on the skill of the user to express intent clearly as a function of art as well as science.
Some Natural Language artists are more skilled than others!
Macron is elegant counterpoint to Trump!
Like minute chapter and second verse.......43:30:
"I do not share.....the illusion of nationalism...."!
Followed by a standing applause. There is an art in expressing an ambiguity that has a crystal clear intent as the object of the subject structure of the phrase. It is at the same time the application of cleverness and the artistic creation of saying exactly what is intended without saying it literally. Necessary in the language of diplomacy and negotiation with respect.
I hear what Macron says: America First is an "Illusion of Nationalism". It leads to thoughts of other illusions of nationalism.........Look at how all the illusions of nationalism turned out!

43:47: Militarism....the USA invented it.....it is up to the USA to re-invent it.
Later, in summation of many statements about the environment:
There is no "Planet B"!
Pure Elegance!
But that is a French trait.
