     I see that the Turing Test has (not unexpectedly) crept back into the
discussions of intelligence (1:85).  I've wondered a bit as to whether the
TT shouldn't be extended a bit; to wit, the challenge it poses should not only
include the ability to "pass" the test, but also the ability to act as a judge
for the test.  Examining the latter should give us all sorts of clues as to
what preconceived notions we're imposing when we try to develop a machine or
program that satisfies only Turing's original problem
