   None of what the AI says matters, as you feed it FALSE DATA.   
      
   That you don't understand this, just shows you are Naturally Stupid.   
      
   until you can quote a SOURCE that says what you claim to be true and   
   what I have shown is false, you are just admitting to being a LIAR.   
      
   Sorry, you are just showing that you are perhaps so incompentent you   
   need to be institutionalized.
