   Not in the least little bit.   
   The key difference with you as a troll compared to   
   other trolls is that you do have a reasonably deep   
   understanding of some of these things.   
      
   The following may not be over your head if you cared   
   to understand instead of being locked in rebuttal mode:   
      
   Turing machine deciders only compute the mapping from   
   their [finite string] inputs to an accept or reject   
   state on the basis that this [finite string] input   
   specifies or fails to specify a *particular* semantic   
   or syntactic property.   
      
   If Tristan did not understand it he would not have   
   been able to correctly improve it.

   My 28 year goal has been to make   
   "true on the basis of meaning" computable.   
      
   This required establishing a new foundation   
   for correct reasoning.
