Reminds me of a number of grad students I knew who could “talk circles” around all sorts of subjects but failed to ever be able to apply anything.

Heh, but just because a human can fail at something doesn't mean everything that fails at it is human. :p

  • Right, but if you're saying that something is 'incapable of reasoning' because of a failure mode also found in humans, then either humans are 'incapable of reasoning' or you concede that failure mode isn't a justification for that gross assertion. You can't have it both ways.
