[Torsten]

Torsten: for me there is a huge difference between "possible" and "most plausible". There is indeed confusion about where exactly the goal posts are. I think many would agree that your solution is possible, yet few would call it the most plausible. This is an important difference.

Mark: you are right. I guess I was thinking about the situation as it is with our current knowledge.

Koen, do you seriously want to fight about the meaning of my words? First, my statement was the "most plausible explanation known so far". To counter this statement it would be at least necessary to point to another text generation method that is also possible. Until this happens the only known "possible" text generation method automatically also provides the "most plausible explanation known so far." Secondly, you are right to state that many members of this forum didn't like my research results and therefore wouldn't call them plausible. However something isn't true simply because that's what a large number of people believe or not believe [see You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.].
