After a little more thought on the topic of the last article, It comes
to me that several comments that I made states part of my argument more
eloquently.
(I had noted how our concepts differentiate as we learn a topic, and
given an example of my own concept differentiation in "AI")
Our own preoccupation with the messy concepts of "conciousness", and even
"intelligence" are a testament to our own naivete in a way. We are learning
more and more that although some principle issues that get people interested
in a field are interesting, they end up becoming sort of moot questions as
the field matures and *better* questions are dicovered. I think that this
consideration would be valid here as well in the argument to give "AI" its
own language.
