"But why do you call that "programming"? It is not possible to "program" the
human the way you program a computer. This metaphor seems to be based in

Programming has only one meaning (erga omnes).
Whenever you are explicit and not ambiguous, you are programming.
Of course not all communications are explicit and not ambiguous.
