Go up one level in this thread


Odell, you act as if this is some kind of 'bet' that Bob would be 'welching' on,
and you can 'win'. Isn't this a bit silly? This is a discussion about how strong
computers are. Nothing is riding on this, there are no odds in Vegas.

Bob, as a clear and nearly-universally recognized expert in the field has stated
his opinion. You have stated yours. Why is it so important that Bob agree with
you on this?

If computers *are* GM strength, then eventually the evidence will be totally
incontrovertable. Bob isn't a zealot. If he believes the evidence supports that
contention, he'll recognize that. Right now, he appears not to believe this. Why
is it so important to you that he does this now?

Exactly why is this whole matter so important to you? Is it so hard for you to
recoignize that different people can hold differing, yet legitimate, opinions
about this?
