Hah! I just came across your comment, Phil :-) I was “Rude”?
Hey, you were sitting next to me, and egging me on by saying “No it isn’t” quietly to yourself every time Bringsjord tried to assert his (nonsensical) claim.
But anyway. I’d claim that I was not rude, really. Bringsjord kept interrupting my attempts to ask my question with loud, almost shouted comments like “If you really think that, I feel sorry for you: you really need to go back and try to get a grasp of elementary logic before you ask me questions like this!!”

So I got a little …. testy. :-) :-)
I really wish someone had recorded that exchange.
