As I said above, you are obviously too thick to figure that out, even
when it's explained to you.

The loon spew above more than ever convinces me you're merely an
experimental Artificial Stupidity System (A.S.S).

As I said there were many possible ways of replying. As I said there
is no limit, there is no word count. Thre problem I believe is a
complex one. A free enterprise business and university system tends to
ensure that the best people are chosen. The system in the US public
sector is based a lot on patronage.

Lets ask a simple question - Can Americans learn Arabic? In the
private sector you learn it if you have to. Kurtzweil in fact claims
that you do not have to know it to produce statistical translation,
although there is no question that he isn't employing the best people.

In the public sector the most obvious question is "Do you gain
anything?". As I said you seem to gain more by being a rabid
evangelical. There is no incentive to acquire knowledge.
