Greetings,
Computers do make choices, jc, and it is here that your assertion fails. Simple
example. I told my
computer to defragment my hard disk. It assessed the situation and decided that the
best course of
action was to perform a full defragment rather than a quick defragment. The computer
program made
the choice and carried out the action, not I.
Unless you can show that choice to be qualitatively different to human choice (and you
haven't) then
you are the one 'blowing smoke,' matey boy.
