Motie engineers were capable of adapting bits and pieces of 
whatever in ways that would make a human's brain explode, but 
turned out to function remarkably well.

This sounds exactly like Perl to me -- it *can* work remarkably 
well, if you're genetically designed to grok it, but for a normal 
human, it's more likely to make your brain explode.   :)
