Sorry.

As Crash will be the first to tell you, the CRM-114 Discriminator
doesn't understand English, and can't parse English. All it does is
match word-probability against the existing corpus-profile.

In other words, there are several approaches which will work, but none
of them are "logic filter"s that analyze the logic of the statements
made.
