[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the answer is all that matters. Anybody who tells you differently is selling you something.[/quote] Does it? I can teach a parrot to say multiplication tables correctly, does that mean the parrot understands multiplication?[/quote] If you tell the parrot that Larleaux has 17 boxes that each contain 12 pens, and Larlisle has 24 boxes that each contain 11 pens, and then ask the parrot how many pens they have altogether, and the parrot says "468 pens, polly wanna cracker," its fairly certain the parrot can do arithmetic even if he didn't tell you exactly how he got the answer. There are humans that can do that level of arithmetic in their heads quickly, and it's not unusual or rare. (I can do it in my head, but not very fast.)[/quote]
