[KB] Exhort a machine.

[wessr at onid.orst.edu]

It is not a machine passage, but something similar to what you're  
looking for may appear in Burke's argument that behaviorists  
contradict themselves: they say in effect that people are nothing but  
chemicals, yet they would never think of trying to persuade chemicals.

One example of this argument, possibly the earliest, appears in the  
Grammar at pp. 59-60. It is an argument Burke uses repeatedly so there  
are other examples. Another may appear in "Terministic Screens," but I  
don't have it with me to check.
