Why worry about where it happens? What memory location in your computer
is this letter is sitting at right now? Sure it could be found but it
much easier on a computer to reset all the initial conditions than it
would be for a mind. And to what purpose? After ten years of research
and 10 billion dollars you say , yep, that's where this thought
occurred! Can I have another grant now?
