It is a relevant question because "controllable physical force" is as
semantically ill-defined as "technical effect". There are many European
peer-reviewed scientists and philosophers who have written or would
agree that information processing (such as anything to do with software)
falls into the category of "controllable physical force".
But first let's get everyone to stop stop using "technical effect"
before we move onto getting everyone to stop using "controllable
physical force".
