Haha, yeah that's a very confusing phrase. I was very confused playing Metal Gear Solid 2 when they kept saying stuff like "remember, this device is made from currently existing technology". I mean, of COURSE it's currently existing, otherwise the device itself wouldn't exist! I figure it's probably an expression, but I'll be kasmoogled if I can figure out what that expression could possibly mean.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
