Don't, Giles, you'll confuse him more!

Now define procedure, recursive, computational, and finite.

Whereas finite would be preferable.

Pretty much! I just think that people can take the "be prepared" motto too far, and in doing so unjustifiably burden themselves to the point where they're no longer capable of doing whatever it was for which they were preparing themselves.
