Judging by the excruciating number of posts about Cantor in sci.math,
he must be the greatest scientist in the history of the world.

Now this seems to indicate that Herc is in Case 4, which
states that Herc is so confused that he posts "nonsense"
that is "not even wrong."

The fact that it's so hard to determine which case Cooper
is in is one reason that I might stop referring to the
cases altogether and find new ways to address his argument.

(Then again, I don't know whether there's any way that I
can address "nonsense" that's "not even wrong.")

You think the simplest computer model is nonsense?

Especially if it doesn't model physical theory or process!

this should be assign := not equals.

A:=target(P) and P:=target(A)
