i will never care about you complaining about the fact the computations 
i'm talking about don't fit within the particular box you call a 
"Computation", because i just doesn't mean anything,

u and the entire field can be wrong about how u specified "Computation",

and that potential is well codified by the fact the ct-thesis is still a 
thesis and not a law.

i will not respond to more comments on this because it's a boring, lazy, 
non-argument that is fucking waste of both our time.
