reluctance-generator
====================

Hypothesis
----------

We hypothesize that it is possible to make a computer sound reluctant.

Apparatus
---------

*   Python 2.7.6 (probably works with older versions too)

Method
------

*   Use a "recursive descent generator" to generate statements suggesting
    reluctance.  This is like a recursive descent parser, but run "in reverse."
    Some might call this a "generative grammar", but that phrase has a specific
    meaning in the study of linguistics that might not be applicable here.
*   These statements will be a superset of
    [reluctance.txt](../generic-corpora/reluctance.txt);
    it will not mind at all creating sentences after which a linguist would
    be inclined to put an asterisk.

Observations
------------

    $ ./reluctance-generator.py
