Fortunately he doesn't always have to, as it has sometimes already been proved. For example, he has recently claimed that incomputable functions exist - "Computing the actual behavior the direct execution of any input is ALWAYS IMPOSSIBLE." - and so he at least accepts Turing's conclusion, even if he doesn't like how Turing got there. -- Richard Heathfield Email: rjh at cpax dot org dot uk "Usenet is a strange place" - dmr 29 July 1999 Sig line 4 vacant - apply within
