When one attempts to analyse messages CREATED by artificial intelligence as opposed to programmed responses, it is vitally important to remember that the "imagination" of a probe using AI is, although ever evolving, very limited. Imagine a two year old describing something that he has never encountered before. Until more is learned by Bette, this limited description may be all there is to go by. It may or may not be something that Bette was formerly familiar with. Communication with the probe in order to enhance it's desciptive terminology response parameters is in order.
