Hi!
Assumptions assumption assumptionstake a look: You said:
"Why would you say that? Computer simulations can certainly produce
results you didn't already know about, just look at genetic algorithms."
OK. here's the rub... /"You didn't already know about..."/.
Just exactly 'who' (the 'you')

Hello again Jesse,
I am going to assume that by trashing computationalism that Marc Geddes
has enough ammo to vitiate Eleizer's various predilections so... to
