See what happens when an untrained user tries to use the English language?

Well it's any language where the listener is allowed to infer that
what is not said can also be true. At least programming languages
aren't this way :) If I decide "System.out.println(32);" the compiler
doesn't decide to add '.println(21)' and claims that I never told it
not to say it :)
 
A more accurate parallel would be that the system decides that you don't 
want .println(21) because you only asked for .println(32)
