If you continue to engage with Olcott, you will discover that a great

True. Hardly any, esp. related to CS,logic. 

olcott has problem understanding logic IF/AND (he uses his own definition). 
olcott has problem understanding his C knowledge is worse than any (of course
except himself) first year student while there are full of examples out there
in the internet, and books.

It is almost GUARANTEED that all the meaning of CS/logic term from olcott's
mouth are not what normal people think. So, the discussion is basically two
people talking two different things. Worst, olcott is in 'preaching mode'.

But, sometimes I think things may not be so bad. Debating with olcott can
increase the related knowledge, and confidence and making people feel full
of hopes (because he is so idiot). Of course, much less so for people seeing
the discussion for years.
