Could someone please define flawed, as it applies (or may apply) to
the mind?  Flawed with respect to the performance of what action?
Formal logic?  Aristotelian logic?  Type theory?  NP-complete
computations?  Getting emotional?  You need referents!  I think that
most people are just talking past each other, as they are using
different referents.  I am not getting involved yet, as I don't think
that I know what referents are appropriate---if anyone thinks they
know: What are they???
