- Roger Ebert, in this month's issue of Byte, has an article on the
- last page. In it, he explains how he and some others at a
- conference watched a commercial of a man running. Afterwards, they
- were all told that the commercial was entirely generated by a
- computer. They were all flabbergasted. To convey this feeling of
- surprise, Roger pulls out a simile that is, as one would expect,
- related to the movies.
-
- There are three pathetic mistakes in his simile:
-
- When we were told the truth I felt a little like Harrison Ford does
- when he discovers Rachel Ward is a fabricant.
-
- And no, the third one isn't "there are only two mistakes.
