Is this an example of a "useful" distinction meme?
And -- you know, Richard -- "once you buy into the distinction-memes, you've
lost the battle". I agree that there is a difference between "discovery"
and "invention", but from a person who "does not believe in believing"?... :-)
To use you own strategy:
Translation: Let's create distinction-memes called "discovery" and
"INVENTION" and say that one is not the same as the other. How creative...

What battle, Richard? If you don't want to argue about the existence of
free will, why do you?
