Actually, Harry, there is no limit to what computer programs can do (and
that is actually formally provable, with certain definitions) if you
have unlimited memory and processing power, and unlimited programming
time. In this case, the limitations on GRAMCORD would mainly be in the
time taken to do the programming and tagging. If someone put in the
effort to tag all words with complex semantic information, modern
computers could handle and display that information very easily.

This would of course have no implications for the validity and
usefulness or otherwise of the information. The principle remains:
Garbage in, garbage out.
