I'll respond with my assessment on this, provided you agree in advance
that you won't quote me elsewhere [in other threads/forums] in support
of your claims.  Not that I can really enforce this, but I think for the
most part you are basically honest, and would try to keep an agreement
you made on this, if you chose to make one.

You understand the reason I ask this:  you are unfortunately completely
unable to judge what other people say to you, and as soon as you
(mis)interpret the smallest thing as supporting some part of your
argument you will (mis)quote "Mike Terry [or whoever] agrees that
[something I did not agree to, or some literal quote taken out of
context, which misrepresents my actual opinion]."

If I persuade you of anything, of course you can present those views /as
your own words/, but none of that "Mike Terry said..." or "an expert
(lol) has agreed that..." and so on.  Those are attempts to silence
opposition through (mistaken) appeals to authority and I don't want to
be involved in that.

Of course you can quote me freely within this thread where it will be in

Hello Mike, are you one of the „experts” Olcott quotes? I would be
interested in what your original concession regarding the code was.
Have a nice day

 I'm not one of the absent experts (quoted as being computer scientist professors or the like) PO likes to quote in his appeals to authority.  I've only ever dealt with PO on these forums, and when he quotes me he mentions me by name, so you'd know it was me specifically, unlike all his remote expert supporters.  :)
 PO quotes anybody who ever says something that he can interpret as supporting anything he says, however obvious that might be.  For example, he quotes me as confirming that a simulator, while calculating the steps of a computation, can observe the internal state of that computation as it progresses, monitoring for execution patterns etc..  Well, you'd have to wonder how he thinks a simulator works if he needs someone to tell him this! :)  Also of course nobody here had ever disagreed with this, but PO believed he was engaged in some kind of long running battle regarding this over a period of years!
  Mike.
 

I will quote your words that interpreted as saying this as soon
as I can later today after I have handled my dire emergency. I
will admit any error that I made on this interpretation after I:
(1) Find these words.
(2) Carefully study these words.
(3) Present what I consider a valid range of interpretation of
     these words from the minimum to the maximum of what seems entailed.
(4) Get feedback from you on this range of interpretation.
