You do not speak for the entire SL4 list, unless or until I (at least)
unsubscribe from it.
As far as I am concerned, the widespread (is it really widespread?) SL4
assumption that "strictly humanoid intelligence would not likely be
Friendly ...[etc.]" is based on a puerile understanding of, and contempt
of, the mechanics of human intelligence.
Whereof you disdain not to understand, thereof you should not speak.
