I'm afraid that (in reality) scientists are just people too, like everyone else. Just like any other humans, they can be petty, narrow-minded and thick-skulled. On the other hand, they also have the capability of acting with kind, noble intentions. On the other, other hand -- are you sure that you are being scientifically objective? Is it possible that people who disagree with you are correct and you are mistaken? Or (more likely) both positions are somewhere off from the true target. I don't doubt Kasparov's sincerity. I don't doubt your sincerity. I don't doubt IBM's sincerity, and I don't doubt my sincerity. So with all these sincere people, how can we be at such odds? Beats me, and with so much water gone under the bridge -- we're not about to solve it.
