Yes, you put it very clearly, and I understand that. I just don't accept 
that this makes AdSense intelligent. An intelligent analysis would care 
about the meaning of the words, not just the words themselves. After all, 
that's what language is all about. Even Google's own translating tool has to 
care about that. But AdSense doesn't, at least not in my language. So I will 
defend the view that AdSense is not a smart tool, but a stupid tool.

That's funny! I see I can't really complain.
