And I am extremely surprised that you cannot follow me when I say that I am
neither an expert for neural networks nor computerchess, but that I could STILL
participate in an interdisciplinary debate, because of my rudimentary knowledge
in chess and psychology. You simply dont get it that this is NOT - from my view
- about details of neural networks nor computerchess. Since I want that you can
understand I'll give you an almost terroristic example for what I am doing here.
Now keep yourself comfortable, Christophe!

You have a cat. You like your cat although she doesn't always do what you want.
And like your cat I am HERE in the debates like your cat. I am here responsible
for the good feelings! I am your cat in this debate. Know what I mean? Would you
tell your cat to read 15 articles about cat psychology if she wanted to make you
happy? Why do you want me to do such nonsense? My knowledge is way too big for
the little debate here and therefore I could discover that nobody addressed Tom
Kerrigan anymore. I did it almost in my sleep, Christophe. Eyes wide OPEN!  :)

Objection. I still stand to every statement I made. Or do you believe I invented
all that?

I can only repeat that I read the first two items. That with your father's
university and your short appearance in specific studies. How could I invent
such informational things? If they are not true, then why I read them in your
presentation? But ok I forget them if you say something to their existence. We
are here in a virtual reality and perhaps you wrote it with tongue in cheek -
how can I know? That I read it in your presentation, that is a fact.

Yes, that is funny. You read three reports in the net and claim expertdom in
neural networks so that you can well tell me that I know nothing about neural
networks. But in truth I never claimed that I knew something but claimed that I
could STILL participate in the debate because I discovered that the following
participants did no longer address Kerrigan. Is that too difficult for you to
understand? Tell me why and perhaps I can help you.

I asked you to give me the evidence where I talked about neural networks AT ALL,
Christophe! You simply do not respond. Why? Because it would prove that you
again produced hot air when telling the group that I didn't know something about
neural networks - when in fact I did NEVER talk about this specific field?

Let me give you a simple example that you must be able to understand. You
behaved as if I, who in reality had talked about Africa, did know nothing about
South America and you repeat it loud: Rolf, you simply have no idea about South
America, you should read more about it, wait, here I'll give you some links...!

Why is all that important, Christophe, when it was about Africa?

[Now do the following: Set neural networks for South America and the psychology
of debates for Africa.]


I give you just another advice for free. Try to debate here right on the spot,
say something directly after the item you want to criticise. Stop it to give a
rather confusing whole paragraphe at the end of the posting because you hide the
points you forgot to mention or which showed your incompetence in the debate.
Smart people will still discover it, Christophe.

Ok, I accept your apology.

Again, you repeat yourself and you are again totally wrong! I didn't discuss
neural networks but I came into the debate from an interdisciplinary point of
view. I talked about chess and the debate itself. I did NOT talk about neural
networks nor even computerchess programming. So what did make you angry so much?
That the Subject line contained the term "neural networks"? Yes? But this is
just another tradition in virtual reality. This is the tradition to build up a
thread. Often people begin to talk about football and they use the same Subject
as before, the war against Iraq! Perhaps they try to take the mods for a ride, I
don't know.
:)

You forgot astronomy, the universe and God! Uhm, sorry, Christophe, this is CCC
and NOT CTF, excuse me! Here I must concentrate myself on specific topics! But I
must admit that it is not so easy to follow me in my three-dimensional space of
interdisciplinary debate. A certain mature-ship is absolutely required, mere
bean couters have nothing to lose in the area. Too much freedom of thought would
cause crises in their perception.

You should let your cat read my messages before you make premature conclusions.
She might understand me. I just had a little dialogue with her...

I recommand that we could take the debate to CTF. There is more room for private
lectures.

Rolf
