If computer error messages were in haiku format would they be easier to take?

Is that supposed to be a question or a statement? Do tell.

Perhaps it isn't. It's written in English.

Perhaps? It also has an extra syllable in the second line.

I always thought 5-7-5 was the correct pattern. At least, my memory thought that, and it's relatively good at collecting useless trivia like that (as opposed to useful information, like how to change a flat tyre).
