   That's an attempt at an appeal to authority, but it isn't a   
   convincing argument. There must be many /thousands/ of Comp Sci   
   PhDs who've studied the Halting Problem (for the 10 minutes it   
   takes to drink a cup of coffee while they run the proof through   
   their minds) and who have no problem with it whatsoever.
