Here's a Devil's Advocate position to help re-start discussion...

> What has the Fifth Generation Project got to do with AI?
> What is the role of the Canadian Society for Fifth Generation Research

The role of anything containing the words "Fifth Generation" is basically
to make glowing promises (accompanied by reminders about the bogeyman on
the other side of the Pacific) in hopes of convincing government and
industry to fork out more money for the (admittedly reasonably deserving)
AI community.  Period.
