We already covered that in the argument on this
subject which ended on 6-20-04 with this post:

Not to be uncooperative with you, yes I know what theoretical
inaccuracies exist and what theoretical concepts are missing in
the first sentence of the relevant description. I must have
googled 100 explanations. Not that I can remember much. I'm
exceptionally well-practiced at forgetting useless information.

I believe I'm already talking to a PhD in sci.logic, but I'm not
learning anything except possibly why they added an
analytical section to the GRE.

Torkel has trolled two of my unrelated discussions in other
groups, the first time in a Goedel context unrelated to this one.
It is a matter of posting record. Therefore he is a troll.

He also has the well-known habit of snipping excerpts out
of context, then posting cryptic statements and questions
intended to start arguments and/or aggravate posters.
Therefore he is a troll.

In my very first reply to Torkel, never having encountered
him or his name before, I was only friendly. Yet he
immediately set a trap to try to embarrass me. That is evidence
that he is a troll.

I understand that he uses that very same technique in
a productive way in some theory discussions. But that
doesn't change anything. From outside of that context,
it just makes it more confusing to posters when he does troll.
