To John K Clark and Peter Merel:

     Whatever the theoretical considerations, if you have one computer
which produces a result in 10,000 units of time and another, using the same
level of technology, which produces the same result in 1 unit of time
because there are upwards of 10,000 of them working in parallel, then
unless (and until) technology advances (ie. reality - physical law - does
not prevent it from so doing) so that the 1 unit of time is below the
perceptive or even the measurement threshold of humans (so that the 1 and
10,000 may be perceptively very close), then I maintain there *is* a
*fundamental* difference between these computers in the sense that they can
have radically different effects on reality.

     Whatever response this generates, I state, in advance, that I will not
reply.
