No, I can't say that. I don't have any way to tell one way or the other because my information is limited. Go get out your AI textbook. Read about traffic light control systems and fuzzy logic (a usual example). There's a signal from the 'pedestrian waiting' detector. Possibilitities are that there's a pedestrian waiting, or that the detector is faulty. Fuzzy logic is to do with the control system that tries to deal with these possibilities by ascribing probabilities to them, etc. Like, if the 'pedestrian waiting' detector is on for a long the time (or off for a long time), then the probability that the detector is broken increases. Firing an automatic message off to the engineers to come out is going to get done on a subjective probability basis. Fuzzy logic. My subjective fuzzy logic fired on that specific post. This is not a reflection on that post, but on the pattern of posts from various posters in the past. >He isn't complaining about something he doesn't receive - namely support - but >he's complaining to discredit the Rebel Company. I can't say that MS is doing that. He might be doing that, and he might not. The situation is fuzzy. Fuzzy logic is about probabilities. If something of low probablity interpretation in each specific case keeps happening - then the probability *overall* supporting the theory that there is a 'campaign' increases. > >Bruce *is* right you know - why don't you say so? Because it doesn't mean that specific cases are necessarily part of the pattern. I said there was a pattern, not that this specific case was necessarily part of it. > >J.
