I absolutely agree with your analysis wrt current tech - however, I suspect the person you're replying to is talking about "what would be really cool" in terms of it happening in a future where the relevant underpinnings had advanced to the point where it could actually manage the situational/nuance stuff properly.
I almost certainly wouldn't want to use something that tried to implement it now but it's a lovely dream and the state of the art keeps advancing at quite the speed (i.e. faster than I would have predicted, even when I do my best to take into account that it keeps advancing faster than I would have predicted ;).
