Phillip makes the assertion that Excel is not Turing-complete,
beginning the flame war:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.ruby/msg/27cebe32ec304c83

Anyone with a passing knowledge of the field would know that Excel is
Turing-complete because it can model Turing-complete cellular automata
(for instance the Game of Life). Also see Wolfram's NKS (though
Wolfram has become crank-like in other respects, he certainly knows CA).

History shows that Phillip will persist despite being factually
disputed. No doubt he will attempt to twist his way out of this one.
See him get refuted here:
http://groups.google.com/group/ruby-talk-google/msg/abb343631960cdad

Note his bizarre cockiness despite being totally wrong:
http://groups.google.com/group/ruby-talk-google/msg/da8cbb09529977d1

In order to understand who you're dealing with here, read Philip's
messages in that thread regarding IEEE infinity.
