Isn't it spooky, but I can only give you the hint that many fine guys here in
the community have no academic context at all. Of course it's not trivially
known what standards are followed by true academics, so sometimes it gives
perhaps the impression as if someone wanted to offend you which is however
unintentional most of the time. ;)

I give you a good example to read so that you might be prepared if you want to
continue to "irritate" people with your superior clarity. You didn't know that
this existed?

Just read it and be happy that you are not in Bob's shoes yet. :)

P.S. Paul, what do you think, could be even worse than being a real prgrammer
expert in computerchess? Just joking. But I am a complete computerchess techno
butthead. I'm still interested in computerchess as my only hobby. I play real
chess against the machines. Did you ever hear of that phenomenon before? What do
you think how thick the book of Laws is already, as to how I should keep quit,
when the _real_ experts of the community, the famous testers of automatically
played chess engines hold their in-depth seminars? :)

Please do your thing by all means!
