Wouldn't what you be doing, be reasoning ? Not really. That's trying to predict what other humans will do -- which is a huge survival skill. The real bugaboo is preventing self-deception, which humans are lousy about.

Maybe not always, but at least the 99.99% level. -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org
