No I know that david levy who did the famous bet that no computer is going to beat him in 1978 refused to continue the bet for more 10 years. What is the reason? He simply believed that computers are going to be too strong even for him in 1988 and it seems obvious that he believed that computers are going to be GM strength in the year 2000. Uri
