...naturalistic interest in detail often becomes an emphasis upon the particular as opposed to the general. In Durer's Samson Conquering the Philistines, as in many Gothic inspired drawings, the strong emotionalism, the decorative detail, and the interlacing forms combine with some conscious symbolism to transform the highly realistic detail into a mystical iconography...

Union Seminary's John Macquarrie, for example, proposes a description of God based on Martin Heidegger's existential philosophy, which is primarily concerned with explaining the nature of "being" as such.

"Time flies like an arrow" is not really very different from "Fruit flies like a banana," but their diagrams are at opposite poles. In the latter, "fruit flies" are a species of fly and "like" is a verb. Why shouldn't the machine say that "time flies" are another (admittedly rarer) species...
