What amazes me about this school of thinking is why they even bother keeping the human part of the equation in there.... I mean really... if this could really work.. then machines are far better equipped for the job then are humans... or on the other hand... if you can really be a complete blithering idiot and still manage to glue a couple peices of wood together in a meaningfull way.... why not just train a few hundred chimpanzees up for the various tasks.... you could even provide them with decent living and working environoments at extremely low costs and make the animal rights activists happy.... Sounds like another fine example of some piano loving enthusiast dedicating his / her life to the furthuring of our art. Poor Paaulo. Cheers RicB
