Strawman alert

So Von Neumann was not a scientist in 1940's, did not appreciate the probability theory of Poincare and Pacal and others though a hundred years old.

Nobody in this debate has suggested that von Neumann was not a scientist, not that he did not understand probability theory.

I just knew he'd be termed a moron when I read the quote about thermo and probability.

Nobody has suggested that von Neumann is a moron, in spite of the subtitle you used on Message 20.

Re: Strawman alert

Try messsage 32 of 42.

"But I realize now that these people were not in science; they didn’t understand it. They didn’t understand technology; they didn’t understand their time"

Your mistake. That text is the author's signature text, which he has automatically appended to each post. It was not in any way a comment on the contents of your message.

Off topic

Then I take it signature text no matter how off target, insulting, out of context and valueless is admissible under forum rules.

Note that you are off topic. You should have raised this in the thread on moderation (see link below).

Signatures are expected to be generic, therefore not related to the current topic. Insults are not welcome, and placing them is signatures does not excuse them.
