Right.  If you got a perfect SAT score in mathematics some number of
decades ago, then *of course* your current mathematics skill is
top-notch.  And that's why Martin Davis quoted your post to FOM when
he replied to it.

No, he wasn't replying to me.  Why would he use my name if he is
addressing me?  He was quoting me to another FOM member.

To whom do you think he was writing?

There's no other message with his subject, so he seems to be starting
fresh with a quote from me.

One of us seems to have strange reading comprehension skills.

I'm sure he's not in the habit of quoting just any
ol' FOM poster, but only the top-notch ones.

You're adding more sarcasm.  I use a bit of reality to address the
question you are sarcastic about, and now you add more sarcasm.

Do you think the real problem is that perhaps you are a tad too . . .
sarcastic?

Sarcastic?  Me?  Never.  I am merely accepting without question the
claims you are suggesting, namely:

(1) Because Martin Davis once quoted part of your message in a mailing
list, it follows that you have mastered his introduction to
computability theory.

Who said anything about his introduction to computability theory -
what introduction?

(2) Because you aced the SAT some time ago, your mathematics is
top-notch and this is why Davis quoted you.

No, as I said, you used sarcasm to describe my Mathematical ability,
so I set the record straight.

If someone said, "Jesse seems to think he's a good tennis player.
(Turning to you.) Where are all of your tropies, then?" and you had a
whole shelf of them behind a cabinet door, what would you do?

C-B

Those *are* the conclusions you wanted your readers to draw, yes?

Okay, maybe I'm being a tad facetious about the connection between SAT
scores and the high honor of being quoted by Martin Davis, but
everything else seems a natural conclusion of your comments.
