I remember seeing that in a documentary about perception "WHat the bleep do we know?". I might have found some original reference at some point in a book about Magellan arriving for the first time at Tierra del Fuego. I don't remember the details.

As if he realized that human communication cannot be considered as a closed and finite system, hence I cannot see how his ideas are implemented in these applications, yet.
