I tend to be aghast at what others fail to comprehend, even when the
mathematical proofs are there for them to look at. For the life of me,
I cannot understand, for example, why someone will continue to argue
that a perfect disassembler is possible when the impossibility of this
was proved a long time ago and the idea has been accepted for so long.
I guess that sense I fall into the third category myself since I can't
comprehend such a reluctance to accept the facts. Perhaps you could
enlighten me?

Oh well...
