Ah!
Thank you very much, Bill.
You've conclusively proven that your thinking is sloppy, and that
you don't care that your thinking is sloppy (since you are willing
to make absolute claims about things you admit you don't
understand).
I thank you, as this saves me from having to read you any more. I
try to give AI people the benefit of the doubt that they might be on
to something for as long as I can; having someone remove themselves
from the pool saves me a bunch of trouble.
