This discussion is intended to amplify the role of various intentional components in computer-human communication. In attempting to further the degree to which human subjects and computers can disagree and communicate within the context of that disagreement, i.e., "argue," the ability to identify and classify various locutions as facts, values, or goals is crucial.
