I wonder how your one-line derisive sentence >enhanced CCC. Probably not much. Look, you made a very rude comment to Dave regarding his point about a "limited" Turing test. You implied it was so off-base it wasn't worth reading. But in rebuttal you didn't make your case at all, and when one debates ineffectively, there is usually a reason for it. Hence, my comment. So I apologize. Your turn. Will
