    I doubt whether Peter is either a moron or a troll.

Does it really matter? If he falsely pretends to be a moron or a liar
I may politely pretend to believe.

      It's not exactly polite to describe Peter in any of these ways!
Entirely personally, I see no reason to do so in any case.  He is quite
often impolite in response to being called a "stupid liar" or similar,
but that's understandable.  He is no worse than many a student in terms
of what he comprehends;  his fault lies in [apparently] believing that he
has a unique insight.

When what I say is viewed within the perspective of
the philosophy of computation I do have new insight.
When what I say is viewed within the assumption that
the current received view of the theory of computation
is inherently infallible then what I say can only be
viewed as incorrect.

I have no reason to believe that he lies [versus
being profoundly mistaken];  YMMV.  His real problem is that he cannot
[or will not] resist responding to any article here, very probably inc
this one.  He is apparently not alone, which is what generates the flood
of articles.  There is a simple way to avoid that.
