    @nickstenning a shining example of this in my own research is dealing with non-Latin text. it is enormously complex because human writing is complex. you can't make it simple. many systems in production that claim to handle text in fact only handle ASCII, and this is seen as a "simplification"

      @nickstenning which is wrong, of course. your system is now incorrect to my mind. but you might not see it that way if ASCII covers your use case. it's tricky because even the question of what is inherent to the problem depends on the people solving the problem.
