Hey, not all Engineers are ignorant morons, no matter how much cantbe tries to prove otherwise. I'll say one thing for him, though: he seems to be very well rounded in his lack of knowledge; a regular Renaissance Idiot. >>

I like you too, but you work better with Bugs Bunny...

There is no analytical brain, only muscle memory and experience mmemory weighted by what worked and what didn't work. cantbe323 >>

So short it's not even a theory.>>

We eat cow brains, some even call it a delicacy so why not human brains. Who knows... It might even taste better.

Sure it is. We've all been assimilated by the Borg. >>

Only if the Borg can work with his Bots...

There's nothing in them to debate or debunk. They're all based upon his incredibly naive understanding of "science," which (because it rejects inference and deduction) turns the field into nothing more interesting than a big list of facts. Plus, cantbe323 has already demonstrated that he will not (or cannot) respond in any substantive way to criticism or questions, and he seems to feel free to fabricate facts out of thin air, so what's the point discussing anything with him? >>

This won't effect our friendship, will it, or change the name from Friends Network to Foes Network?

Ok, I think I'm beginning to understand now. cantbe323 is unable to comprehend anything that he can't see, what ever the facts supporting it.>>

Name one fact that can't be seen and I'll recant.

Oh, all doubt has been erased with his own words, or lack of them. He's also a pretty unimaginitive troll. Boredom awaits all who deal with him.>>

Boredom is okay as long as your happy.

Here's the short version...

There is no analytical brain, only muscle memory and experience mmemory weighted by what worked and what didn't work.

I have not seen that this is true. Please provide demonstrable visual evidence.

"What the hell is an Aluminum Falcon?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. I thought my Dark Lord of the Sith could protect a small thermal exhaust port that's only 2-meters wide! That thing wasn't even fully paid off yet! You have any idea what this is going to do to my credit?!?!"

"What? Oh, oh, 'just rebuild it'? Oh, real [bleep]ing original. And who's gonna give me a loan, jackhole? You? You got an ATM on that torso LiteBrite?"

Sounds good, but if they don't guess the right cause, what works or doesn't work (effect) can't be established.

And they can't be? Have you ever heard of marketing? How about, intermittent reinforcement? Online progressive gaming? Gambling?

These seem to suggest some things about how the mind works, and they are used with stunning (and sometimes alarming) efficacy.
