"That we might have solved the voice-generation problem to boot, yes 
sir," Hackworth said. "As you know, we took some stabs at it, but none of the 
results were up to the level of quality you demand. After all of our 
technology, the pseudo-intelligence algorithms, the vast exception matrices, 
the portent and content monitors, and everything else, we still can't come 
close to generating a human voice that sounds as good as what a real, live 
ractor can give us."
