That is why it is often a wise old man and a smart young man.With all the search parameters set, it will find or not find the file. There is no gray area. If you set the parameters to search for hidden directories an algorithm could be drawn up to do that kind of thing. The competency is in how complex the algorithm is, not in if the algorithm can make guesses and leaps of faith. The program is what it is, a complex one will pick up more in this case than a very simple one.Ah, but the human mind can accept that data input and perhaps a very sophisticated machine could as well. For instance, a very "smart" machine could determine the man holding something behind him. Could it know what it was though? That would be a best guess. Luckily though the human component is that we are on a whole other order of complexity from machines. I have read recently that human intelligence works by prediction, it expects things to be a certain way and then when they are not flags appear. For instance, you expect a nose to be where a nose is but when it is not a flag appears. A machine generally does not work that way. A machine would look at a nose and then go down a long list of noses and then pick out the most appropriate and if no nose existed on that list it would pick that one.Anyway point being- perception, I think, is INT based (we could probably go back and forth on this). To further this I think logic and deduction happen from being smart and not from hutches and gut instinct.You could also make the claim that they make all will saves unless they get the proper input. With the proper input they fail.Yes but, I think for some mental conditions that could be true, for others not so much.</blockquote>
