I had the same thought. I've chatted with some of the people who did statistical machine learning in the early 90s. I got the distinct impression _they_ didn't believe this! But then that's what you'd expect, I guess.
No I know that. Linguistic pragmatics sounds like “did you mean that literally or ironically or were you just trying to get a different point across”

Well, pragmatics is more dynamic and context based, hence the name. If we disagree on a text, likely one of us is wrong (I'll take the L...) or the author is unclear. ;-)
