I think you have to be very careful with snips, because it is easy to take certain thoughts out of context to give a false representation of what one is trying to convey. Like censoring, anyone can decide what view to manipulate to their own advantage or viewpoint. This is part of the problem with the Hsu and Williams [Kasparov's representative] debate; what transpired between them, word for word? In this case, we really don't know. George
