Do you understand how using statistics to determine degrees of certainty works? That is a must-have to understand academic work.

I think that if you did, you wouldn't be answering like you did.

Your quote does not back up your claim.

My original claim was that the Turing test needs to be passable by ~every adult human. You counterclaimed that Turing himself didn't think so, and provided that quote from the IG paper as evidence. But that quote is in a section about testing digital computers, not humans. Thus it is unconnected to your counterclaim.

I don't know how much simpler I can make it.

Find a quote that actually backs up your claim, or accept that you've learned something about the paper you told me to read.


He also never says that ~every adult human should pass, ever.

He never denied your claim, so you concluded you must be right. A most curious way of thinking.
