Anyone who doesn't understand that is not vague, he's dead, long-term.
But the constraints of the problem are no less a legitimate part of the problem than the rest of it. If you're free to solve the problem "win at chess using just the formal rules of the game" by redefining it to "win at chess using any means possible", you may as well redefine it to "go sit on the beach and read a book". -- Stathis Papaioannou ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=4007604&user_secret=7d7fb4d8
