Why not plug three A.I. researchers/students together to see if they
can figure out which of the other two is really a computer.

[Tangential thought:
  If I play a game of iterated Prisoners' Dillemam, I have absolutly
  no way to telling if I am playing a person or a GA (generating an
  FMS of say, 10 states).  The GA passes the T.Test for Prisoners'
  Dillema, it just hasn't had the oppertunity to learn to speak yet.]
