I think the funny thing about this discussion is everyone agrees with the sentiment of "9 women can't make a baby in one month" but somehow the intuition is forgotten when it comes to compilers and parsers and etc. Like if human engineers with human brains can't parallelize program construction, what hope do computers have?

Ultimately this, like many things, boils down to P=?NP (search/optimization is NP hard).
