dc: I have never been impressed by complicated formulas and I have been many 
slick (Math) talking people who couldn't produce anything that worked in the 
real world.

Ben: A fascinating Freudian slip!  ;-)

Wow - you're the first AI person I've come across with any Freudian 
perspective. Minsky made a similar slip. I'd argued that he had never really 
defined the problem of AGI. His response was:

MM: "As E. just said, "There are many defs but few help ." Making definitions 
often does more hard than good when you don't 
understand situations"

I pointed out that the Freudian slip - substituting  "hard" for "harm" - was 
revealing of the real reason for his lack of a good definition. But I think it 
all passed him by.
