On two occasions I have been asked, – "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" In one case a member of the Upper, and in the other a member of the Lower, House put this question. I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

    in duo occasiones ego have been interrogavit: - "utrum tandem metus. Babbage si posuistis in machina imaginum malum, non veniet responsa de iure?" et facit aliud quidem membrum superius, et de aliis inferioribus membrum est, domum hanc quaestionem posuit. Ego recte non potest comprehendere genus notionum perturbatione contemnendum putes quia non talis quaestio.

    два раза меня спрашивали: «Молитесь, мистер Бэббидж, если вы введете в машину неправильные цифры, получатся ли правильные ответы?» в одном случае этот вопрос задавал член верхней, а в другом - нижней палаты. Я не могу правильно понять, какая путаница идей может спровоцировать такой вопрос.

    రెండు సందర్భాల్లో నన్ను అడిగారు, - "ప్రార్థన, మిస్టర్. బాబేజ్, మీరు యంత్రంలో తప్పు బొమ్మలు పెడితే, సరైన సమాధానాలు వస్తాయా?" ఒక సందర్భంలో ఎగువ సభ్యుడు, మరియు మరొకటి దిగువ సభ్యుడు, ఇల్లు ఈ ప్రశ్నను ఉంచారు. అటువంటి ప్రశ్నను రేకెత్తించే ఆలోచనల గందరగోళాన్ని నేను సరిగ్గా గ్రహించలేను.
