or to interpret the definition of ass to be that of a donkey...  perhaps
that leads to a minotaur as about-half-man + half-ass?
(though a minotaur is likely about 80% ass plus slightly more than
half-a-man)

I'm not sure of the power ratio, but if a donkey is within tolerance of a
horse then half-assed would be a measure of work over time, yeah?
(or maybe it is anyway)

and while we're asking the question, is the degree-of-assed to be increased
or decreased?  The idea of work done half-assed is understood to be a
negative connotation, but is an improvement to be no-assed or whole-assed?

 I was going to comment on the simulation argument, but now i'm just too
far off topic.
