I suspect that this sort of algorithm was unconsciously internalized by many scriptwriters of Kung Fu films. I did the same thing, unconsciously, during the period I was reading Smullyan’s books.

I suspect that this sort of algorithm was used as a sort of filter by the more savvy Taoist masters—just sit back and see who gets trapped in this particular local maxima.
