[XEROX PARC] This phrase has two possible interpretations: (1)
"While your suggestion may have some merit, I will behave as
though I hadn't heard it." (2) "While your suggestion has
obvious merit, equally obvious circumstances prevent it from
being seriously considered." The charm of the phrase lies
precisely in this subtle but important ambiguity.
