Aaron, Don't take it personally. Be free. It may be just a lack of vision on Mike's part, or a psychological / physiological disposition towards narcissism: an actual inability to see things from perspectives other than his own. It may just be undiagnosed. No matter. Then again, I've never met him, but Mike Tinter may not actually be a real person, he could just be someone pulling your chain in a made up account. I don't know. Be free, and prove by demonstrating the working prototype. No one can argue with success. Well, actually they can, because intelligence is that elusive thing that we haven'tyet acquired. And to some, once it's defined, that is no longer is intelligence. Cheers, and good luck on your enterprise. Learn something and share it. ~PM.

You won't stop saying I'm being abstract until I show you the code actually
doing it. If you're not going to be satisfied with anything but the final
results, I guess you'll just have to wait and see. I'm not going to bother
explaining anything else to you, because when I do, you say I didn't. I'm just
going to tell you that your unfounded, nonsensical claims are just that.
My system, once implemented, *can* understand the first 3 of those sentences,
using mechanisms I've already started working on and described to you. (This is
because I already knew language was "an unbelievably complicated thing", and I
chose semantic nets specifically because they *are* up to the challenge.) As
for the fourth, it's a shortcoming of my parser, not the system I'm building on
top of it, that it doesn't *yet* look at similar words when a sentence makes no
sense. When I have time, I'll revisit the parser to add this (easy to
implement, but computationally expensive) functionality, but it's not my focus
right now.
So, if you want to continue on the attack as if I haven't rebutted every single
accusation of inadequacy you've made, go for it. I don't have to answer to you
anyway, and I'm not going to keep doing it of my own free will when it
accomplishes nothing. I'm tired of this silly game, and I'm going to go have
some real conversations with people who bother to listen and think about things
before they reject them out of hand, and who bother to give a specific *reason*
they are rejecting them, instead of saying nothing more informative than "you
suck" or "your ideas/tools suck".
