I'm sorry, but instead of answering to technical criticism we've got
allusions to Eliezer's and his critic's mental abilities again (with
no further evidence but his alleged SAT scores), lots of posts
essentially saying "You no good. How dare you question my vast mental
powers! I will show you, eventually. Etc."
You know, this also makes a pattern, and I don't like it. Yakking
about the Big Cool Thing(tm) instead of doing it is sure more fun
(been guilty of it myself), but this doesn't get the BCT done. It
kinda makes one wonder whether there is anything behind that BCT thing
at all, instead of Potyemkin's villages all the way down.
Show us the money. I would be really thrilled if you'd vanish for a
few months, or a year, and come back with with something solid,
something which would make VCs want to write out fat checks
reflexively.
Meanwhile, I'll stop commenting on this thread, because you're not
willing to argument at the technical level, and hence I consider this
a waste of mine and other people's time.
