How do you respond to the 20-question argument that there are only
of order 2^20 "knowledge items" ?


The granularity of knowledge items for 20 Questions and the number 20 are
specifically chosen to match each other, to make the game fair. While never
explicitly stated, everyone understands that e.g. 'a book' is a fair topic
for 20 Questions, but 'Alice in Wonderland' is not. Yet we do know about
'Alice in Wonderland', and any attempt to duplicate human abilities must
take that into account.
