About 14 years ago Hubert Dreyfus wrote a paper titled "Why Computers Can't
Play Chess" - immediately thereafter, someone at the MIT AI lab challenged
Dreyfus to play one of the chess programs - which trounced him royally -
the output of this was an MIT AI Lab Memo titled "The Artificial Intelligence
of Hubert Dreyfus, or Why Dreyfus Can't Play Chess".

The document was hilarious. If anyone still has a copy, I'd like to arrange
a xerox of it.
