Making things easier is worthwhile, but a complex prompt might terrify many
novices. If the principle was to speak to all in their own terms, why stop

I stopped because that's the limit of my command of "yes" and "no". I am not
very fluent in human languages. I know a few more "no"s, but not the "yes"s.
I do know many computer languages, however. All in all, I'd trade a few or
dozen of those for fluency in (say) French and German.
