What spices do you use for rat dog tacos?
What will be the impact of chess being solved?
Sort:
Decon maximum strength...
I remember a Fischer side variation commentary on one of his games in which the positon was perfectly symmetrical but Black had the advantage because he could react positively according to White's move. I'd like to discover that the perfect game is a win for Black!

It's not necessarily true that the younger people are always correct.
Indeed, the reverse is more often true (which I think was Andy's point).
It may be worthy of note that young people often exceed the aged in knowledge of elctronics. But, when discussing the limits of the possible, those under forty have grown up in a world that struggles to produce wisdom and perspective in the young. Consequently, outlandish claims that are groundless have become far more common. While some among the young have shown astounding knowledge and even wisdom, there has been abundant evidence in this thread of the general failure of young commentators to perceive the magnitude of the problem.

One's age has no bearing on the validity of one's argument. I haven't read all the posts, but if ludrah is spouting nonsense, need you know his age to decide if it's worth it to continuing arguing?

You are correct. Age has no bearing. But it is not without influence. Some of us did not have video games in our childhood and were forced to read books on rainy days when conditions deterred our normal activities of organizing neighborhood baseball games. Such differences in life experiences are not without consequences.
But what if the debate is about how it feels to be old?

Exactly. Which is why you shouldn't bring up the age in a debate. Even if something is true for the majority of the youth, it does not have to be true for the one you are debating against. Maybe it is true for me, maybe not, you don't know.
For the record, I did not bring it up, but merely responded when your typo confirmed what you meant to deny.

This is what I've deduced from a sample of one:
A young person doesn't know shit, but can quickly figure it out.
An older guy can't figure out shit, but it doesn't matter 'cause he figured it out when he was young, and he remembers.
Based on my, similarly small sample: Young people know very little but believe they know a lot, whereas old people know a lot, including the fact that they know very little.

Indeed, @BigPoison's post seems rather more incisive than many of the "long-winded" ones seen above. Except perhaps for @Grob's explanation of "metaphor" in post # 507.
Thank you, to both of you.
You're going to listen to those two old guys?
That's you and ozzie, at least according to the numerical limey.
I thought it was goldendog and me.
Oh, yeah, you're right...as usual.
Well, in this instance...
