DAVID: I've always given an IM a 'semi-automatic' designation, which means it has degrees of freedom. > > dhw: Semi-automatic leaves semi-non-automatic. What is half an intelligence?-Not half an intelligence. Semi-automatic means the inventions follow patterns and guide lines as everyone who is an animal on land and those that fly all have the same comparative anatomy. Pentadactyl appendages, etc. I've explained this many times before.
