5. Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> In this paper, we have:  We believe, therefore, that LRs are worth discovering and activating only if they are clearly massproductive, such as LRvA, which is central to this paper. Otherwise, the human cost of manual checking every verb entry before applying the rule to it would render each adjective entry obtained with the help of the LR more--or at least no less--expensive than if it were produced manually &amp;quot;from scratch.&amp;quot; Another important trade-off is between the cost of discovery and the productivity of the rule. It is pleasant and challengeable for a linguist to think that each pragmatic relation is worth discovering and activating in lexical acquisition. It is equally interesting to attempt to discover a rule for each and every exception and complication mentioned in Section 4. The Young-Grammarian approach to language was that every single fact had a rule attached to it. This is probably true but not practical. Neither is the current postmodern approach that there are nice rules and then an area of chaos &amp;quot;because language is that way.&amp;quot; Our practical view is that a LR is useful for lexical acquisition if  it is easily discoverable and very productive. We do not expect any such LR to be exception-free, and our methodology is comfortable dealing with those exceptions.</Paragraph>
