Unfortunatly, I am of the school of thought that says, strengthen yourself,
by knowing your enemy ( ie. I read perceptrons ... ;-)).
So I bought, the Emporers New Mind, but like eveyone else in
the Connectionist community, I have way to much to read....
So , ( on to  the point ) I read the 1 page review in a recent (?) TIME
...
I am not sure if it the journalism, or what, but he I got the idea that
he was saying the neuron exhibit a quantum leap effect ???
( an by some "GOD" given magic that only carbon based life forms
with egos "understand", silicon objects can't .... )

This type of stuff is a double edge blade - nice fantacy reading,
BUT REALLY BAD PR for our community....
Lynch him.

thanks for you patience,
the cybernetic cowpoke
