  Yes, you are correct--I stand corrected.  IN fact, I noticed this
faute stupide after I sent the message and could not retract it.  Please
delete "(as per Popper)" from that statement and it will read as it should.

Further, I posted another reply to the Popperian "disconfirmation thesis"
which if you read would show my understanding of Popper, not to mention 
that he makes the AI project a difficult thing to understand.
