Unpleasant Blowhard finally states his true aims vis Lizzie Liddle, aims consistent with his cognomen:
| Quote | | If your newfound indignation is any measure, then perhaps I’ve finally succeeded in dragging you out into the light of day. It was not an easy task. |
Lizzie then looses her temper and smashes the furniture:
| Quote | | I have to confess to a considerable degree of annoyance at this post, Upright BiPed. |
Hey Clive! Aren't you gonna ban her? She continues:
| Quote | | rather than assist in the process of developing an unambiguous, non-circular wording of your conceptual definition, you kept on insisting that what you had already offered, and what I had already offered back, was a “operational definition”. It was not. |
(As I predicted:
| Quote | I think Liz has taken a wrong turn in the discussion. IMO she has been far too accepting of UB’s gas-bag definitions, and would have been better served by sticking to her guns and requiring that UB supply a workable operational definition of information as he construes it, such that both can agree whether her ambitious simulation has either demonstrated it or has not.
He won’t be able to provide one, nor will any body else. That is a point worthy of demonstration. |
In fact, with that statement I've now logged and tested more predictions vis Lizzie Liddle's interaction with Blowhard than the entire ID movement has logged about anything.)
Biped makes preparations to break off the conversation:
| Quote | | Good luck with your simulation. |
Why now? Here's why. Sayeth Lizzie:
| Quote | | I’m going to set this up on my brand new blog. I’ll post the URL, and anyone is welcome to join me there, and/or comment on it here. That way we can keep the thread open for as long as we want, and I can post updates (if we get that far) once I get going. |
No way Blowhard dares venture from the pouch to discuss this further. In the light of day, so to speak. No fucking way.
(Wow, another prediction!)
