--- Apologize? Oh, absolutely not! Nothing to be sorry about, just
throwing around ideas :) We are both seeing the other's POV and thinking
"that is not quite right". At this point we need more data... and building
and experimenting with other minds appears to me to be an excellent way of
obtaining more data.

--- Indeed, I think this is true. I have no ego-based stake in either
camp... I would just like to know the correct answers to *both* questions.
Perhaps, as has often been the case, the correct answers contain elements of
both POVs. I look forward to the "resolution" of the debate in the coming
years ;^)
Agreeing to disagree in spades...
