By continuing to not even move one inch from his statements that "all systems calls on the Amiga involve message passing", after an overwhelming numer of people tried to convince him that HIS generalization doesn't apply, Peter has shown that he has the brain of a 5-year old, that can't even admit when he f***s up.
