OK, sure. I don't think they're weasel words, because I find them useful,  
but I think I see where you're coming from.

IIRC it was "the speed of a language" that was asserted to be nonsense,  
wasn't it? Which IMO is fair -- a physicist friend of mine works with a  
C++ interpreter which is relatively sluggish, but that doesn't mean C++ is  
slow...
