That's an awesome feature. I think one of the worst possible outcomes of machine translation is something that ends up being accidentally offensive, and this is a smart way to mitigate that.

The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy claims the opposite:

This will happen at the same time we stop being uplifted by words, or moved by them, or brought to tears by them, or fall in love over them.
