not in this case.  quoting a leading bot implementor:

    "We did requirements and task analysis, iterative
    design, and user testing. You'd almost think emails
    were an interface between people and bots."

and I can assure you that proving that human beings don't
like weird but formally well designed syntaxes was the easy
part of that project... (but don't tell the schemers ;-)
