Wrong yet again. From Wolfram Mathworld, the makers of Mathematica: "The Church-Turing thesis (formerly commonly known simply as Church's thesis) says that any real-world computation can be translated into an equivalent computation involving a Turing machine. In Church's original formulation (Church 1935, 1936), the thesis says that real-world calculation can be done using the lambda calculus, which is equivalent to using general recursive functions." http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Church-TuringThesis.html > This is either a confusion between [...] Obviously somebody around here is very confused indeed!
