The main difficulty that I have with your discussion is that it cherry picks sentence by sentence in an effort to discredit the main thesis -- the idea of something being possible; something that has been done in at least one form. I can continue to counter points sentence by sentence, but to what end? By the third post I expect we will have moved far from the original idea in a direction that would amount to an Android vs. TL debate.

I do appreciate your input but I haven't the energy.

My reply tried to convey this though in the end I was lamenting something additionally on a tangent -- a statement about a trait of humanity. It was not intended to be insulting, merely revealing.
