That is correct in the correct context/Das ist ja richtig, aber im richtigen Kontext: I used the phrase "collapses to". I shunned the word "attains".

This is well recognized today. From the beginning of classical formal logic, there also began the development of "non-classical" logics :-) The automation of logics of belief and contingency is underway for some time. This is particularly strong in the Chicago area due to Argonne National Laboratory in the southwestern suburbs, where Robinson worked after his PhD.
