You are absolutely right IMHO that's an appalling paragraph. It so happens I did for once read through, and did identify that exact paragraph. So, I'm hoping that you like me found the other parts comprehensible. I considered a follow on post re-stating that one, but because all I was doing was summing up what I'd said, I thought I'd risk you'd not need it. But what I'll do here is not only restate it, but restate in more science-convention vocabularly. Obviously bear in mind there's a context you'll have to refresh yourself on in what I'd said first. So, in that paragraph I was summing up that: In making your argument that the current problem of intelligence was equal between computers and humans: - You ignore how many independent fields and lines of stand alone evidence exist in those fields with respect to intelligence - In doing so, apart from the problem of doing that on its own terms: - you ignore the historic cumulative fact of robust knowledge that it features distributed layers of related yet on some measure independent fields of knowledge Does this help? > > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
