As hard as it is to specifically discount people (we all deserve a chance!) i may need to disagree with you , gene. Being well-read in any of these fields should require basic literacy. Since i agree that BM almost makes sense from time to time before making another hard right and leaving me behind, i think we can say that he is literate. If this is the case, we are left with the fact that he chooses to communicate thus. I can do this in French, being fluent, but since the point is intelligent debate, i'm going to go wild and stick with a format that everyone else may comprehend. Likewise, BM at least appears to know what he's saying. However, if none of us are getting it, then what's the point? Whether it's derived from a random ai program or an intellect beyond comprehension, the net effect is useless without effective communication.
