Actually, there is an implicit obligation to "make sense" so that your circuits keep on working in situations where you haven't explicitly tested them.

Not one that you are equipped to comprehend, but it's there anyway.

So what was his claim?
 
I cut and pasted that line from his post. Do give us your alternative.

Phil Allison makes a lot of "predictions".

I know why he claims that I lack insight and intuitions - it suits his argument.
I wouldn't have my name on a couple of patents if this were true.

But Phil can't tell us why he thinks that this is a "red herring". He has seen the phrase used, but doesn't actually understand what it means.

So do tell us the "right" definition, wise one.

Twaddle.

Regular intuition with added extra self-delusion.

Right. I got a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry, which involves rather more than rote learning, then branched off into electronic engineering. A dull and predictable choice.

Phil thinks that autism is a label he can hang on people he doesn't approve of.
In fact it's a mental disorder (largely affecting social interactions) with an incidence of about 1.5%. 
  
> Plus giant asshole. 

From Phil's point of view. He wants people to agree with his silly ideas and resents it when they don't. John Larkin wants to be flattered, and gets nasty (though not as nasty) when he doesn't get the praise he feels he deserves.

Sorry Phil. As a psychological diagnostician, you don't have a lot of credibility. John Larkin isn't remotely insane, any more than I am autistic.

Your delusion that you can post claims like that doesn't make you insane, just someone who suffers from poor judgement.

One that he was endorsing. That makes it his claim too.

There wasn't a lot of context, and it wouldn't have changed anything.

Which is to say, the kind of implicit argument that Phil can't follow.

Funny dude.  You would think this guy has better things to do.  Obviously he is as much here for the drama as the engineering.  

Forget about it Jake.  It's the Internet.

 A fallacy backing up a fallacy backing up a fallacy. 

 From a completely mad person.

It may not on the planet you live on - wherever that is.

In the real world it does work that way.

Not actually true. If you look at my other posts in this thread, you will see I made the point more explicitly elsewhere.

The original "red herring" was dragged in front of a pack of fox hounds to distract them from the scent of an actual fox, or substitute for it.
