   A supercomputer is a machine whose purchase is a purely political decision!
   (smiley here).

   There's actually some truth to that.  and it can be argued why that's the way
   it ought to be, IMO.

There is a lot of truth in your statement, but it isn't restrictive
enough.  A lot of nonsupercomputermachines (sorry) are also bought for
purely political reasons....
