I have followed the recent discussion on Transducers/Turing Test with 
interest.  Could someone kindly reappraise the nature of the Total 
Turing Test for me?  I am unfamiliar with it.  Does it involve encasing
the "intelligent" system in a "shell" which closely resembles humans thus
eliminating opacity between examiner and system?  I cannot quite think
of what else it might be.   If this is indeed what it is, it does not 
eliminate some of the epistemological uncertainties associated with the Turing
Test.  Sincerely,
