-The whole point of Shoggoth is that program executions are checkpointable and restartable. This requires that rather than
-using a traditional recursive interpreter which is difficult to snapshot, interpretation in shoggoth occur within a
-context (a virtual machine) which DOES have an easily introspected and serialized representation.
+The whole point of Shoggoth is that program executions are checkpointable and restartable. Unfortunately it's difficult
+to implement such snapshotting and introspection using a traditional recursive evaluator. It is however VERY easy to
+bolt those capabilities onto a VM in a meaninful way. Just provide ways to break, pause or single-step the interpreter
+and capture the resulting state(s).
+
+The VM provides exactly these capabilities, along with some niceties for extensible error recovery and introspection.
