Date: Thu, 25 Aug 88 05:51 EDT From: "Gordon Joly, Statistics, UCL" [a] More people died in the fire bombing of Dresden than in Hiroshima; the atom bomb is a more powerful image than naplam and hence we forget. [b] With regard to what Einstein said, Heisenberg's uncertainty princinple is also pertinent to "AI". The principle leads to the notion that the observer influences that which is observed. So how does this affect the observer who preforms a self analysis? Gordon Joly.
