我正在阅读《Code Complete》(第二版)，并在第 87 页的页边空白处看到了 Bertrand Meyer 的一句话。
Ask not first what the system does; ask WHAT it does it to!
迈耶先生在这里想要表达的观点到底是什么。我有一些粗略的想法，但我想确保我真的理解。

... So this is the second fallacy of teleology - to attribute goal-directed behavior to things that are not goal-directed, perhaps without even thinking of the things as alive and spirit-inhabited, but only thinking, X happens in order to Y. "In order to" is mentalistic language, even though it doesn't seem to name a blatantly mental property like "fearful" or "thinks it can fly". — Eliezer Yudkowsky, artificial intelligence theorist concerned with self-improving AIs with stable goal systems
伯特兰·迈耶 (Bertrand Meyer) 的布道表明，关于系统的合理推理基于了解系统改变了哪些具体实体；改变的目的是一种突现的属性。
