Did they *really* say this? If so, it would be an example of relativism of the worst sort. I thought better of T. Winograd. It reminds me of Edward Abbey's "Test". If someone says they are a solopsist, throw a brick at their head. It they duck, they are a liar. Is the brick "created through the language which we use to communicate"? Or is it a real, objective, brick? Hugh LaMaster, m/s 233-9, UUCP ames!lamaster NASA Ames Research Center ARPA lamaster@ames.arc.nasa.gov Moffett Field, CA 94035 Phone: (415)694-6117
