   If people stuck to Turing's definition we'd be better off; but they don't,
   and even defend their extrapolations.  

of course they should extrapolate, present their arguments and even (!)
try to defend them. turing extrapolated from descartes. others extrapolate 
from turing, and argue. such as philosophy. too much for you?
