When you reach the world of Enlightenment according to Zen, there's neither time nor causality anymore. Without time, you cannot say which item came first: response or command. And now, consequently, it is not possible to tell if a response was caused by a command, or a command was caused by a response.
Om.

I really need to hire you in as a consultant to work with this guy. Unfortunately we haven't had consultant money in years, so...

Methinks they might have been physicists writing the documentation. They must've been struggling with the relativity / causality issues and trying to come to grips with the implications.
I.e. in their mind effect may in fact precede cause. Thus the command may follow the result, which may all have happened weeks before the request!

I think it's just the software engineer being stuck on the English language rather than focusing on the logical aspect of the documentation. Gratuitous network responses are very common in the networking world.
Gratuitous ARP Response
There are also gratuitous RIP and eBGP responses. Probably a dozen other network protocols supporting gratuitous response messages. That's all I can think of at the moment.

Got it in one. He was stuck on the notion that incoming messages to him were called 'commands', even when they were responses to something he sent, and vice versa.

yes but … this creates mind blowing possibilities: consider that "command" is not a command and "response" is not a response, like in The Matrix "spoon" is not a spoon (or something like that), perhaps this way we will get somewhere with deciphering this stuff …

Quote: It's just pointless obfuscation, but its kinda neat. That code prints out "Just another Perl hacker" using only keywords in perl.
The trick to it is that the "q" keyword works as a quote, and the rest of the code is just operating on the keywords that are now just strings inside the q tags.

So the real question here, which is the most mystifying language?
Perl? or Brainfuck?!

Quote: 石室诗士施氏，嗜狮，誓食十狮。
氏时时适市视狮。
十时，适十狮适市。
是时，适施氏适市。
氏视是十狮，恃矢势，使是十狮逝世。
氏拾是十狮尸，适石室。
石室湿，氏使侍拭石室。
石室拭，氏始试食是十狮尸。
食时，始识是十狮，实十石狮尸。
试释是事。

I agree … this is rather horrifying, and knowing nothing about … ooops  ...[EDIT]Pearl Perl [/EDIT], I dare to ask for evidence of this … . Where can I see the result ?
