c) (I am not a doctor.)  After seeing Mr. Olcott's representations
of Professor Sipser's words, as well as the way he edits his posts,
as well as the way he ignores clear refutation, my personal,
non-professional, opinion is that he's more deluded than
outright dishonest.  Hopefully he can avoid the latter in the future.

As far as I have seen, most people only as honest as is possible with
a small effort. They havn't even studied mathematics, physics, or
religion enough to know what it means to be really honest. I don't
think the level of Olcott's honesty is far from the level of an average
person although it is from the level expected in comp.thoery or any
sci group.

Finally, I agree with what others have posted:  this stuff doesn't belong
in comp.lang.c.  Mr. Olcott:  you actually have a few experts _and_
authorities in the C language reading you in this group.  Perhaps
you should follow their suggestions?  (Since the description of your
algorithms are expressed in C, you might want to concentrate on that,
rather than the compilers assembler language output.)

Apparently he foud out that whatever he was looking for in comp.lang.c
is not there.
