It's not true -- we are NOT trying to make programs that don't make mistakes ... we're trying to write minimally buggy software, but we're not trying to prevent our software from making mistakes when learning things Similarly, you don't mind making mistakes yourself when learning, but you would rather your brain did not fall prey to "wetware bugs" and get epilepsy or Alzheimers etc. ... -- Ben G ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=108809214-a0d121 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
