		<description>Well, John, when you Google "gavorche," you may find a whole new line of Hugo research records: those who have misspelled, for some reason, one or more terms (names, etc.)

How does this apply to AI tests?  Possibly, this way, remotely --&#62;&#62;
What if Twinkies don't speak English?

In that case, the test procedure was flawed from the get-go.

But, even if they speak English, they may choose a variant of it, because of their super secret society's rules -- where all writings of names follow a rule of reversing a letter in any proper name, perhaps.

Hence, I warn you to beware of the Twinkies among us -- you never know who is only pretending to be human, but is actually a Twinkie in human disguise.  Given a Twinkie's advanced mind-control powers, disguises are quite easily.  I think Rod Sterling tried to do an episode on this one time, but it was lost in the twilight days of the show, when the Twinkie conspiracy was extending its soft touch farther into world domination.</description>

		<description>Good Catch.

There is the unfortunate possibility that the human was the one who said "I'll be A", and then responded as B.  In which case the description of the events, and the conclusion, are accurate.

However, that raises the point that since humans are known for their ability to lie, someone should have been observing human and twinkie on the other side of the sheet to detect any deception.  And to verify whether those conducting the experiment made the correct conclusion.  As it is they 'proved' that B was Sentient and A wasn't, and that's really all they proved.

Finally...the R comes before the O in my nickname.</description>
