[ExI] Symbol Grounding

[Giovanni Santostasi]

Brent,
Ok, let's play your game. Explain in detail how your magical converter
works. You cannot say it is a black box and you don't care how it works.
There is a precise reason I demand a precise description because I actually
want to make an important point on the basis of your response. If you have
no idea of course you can say you have no idea.
Let's start from there.
Please go ahead.
Giovanni
