Enough with Arturito

That’s enough, we’ve spent too much time on the subject.
So from now on there will be no more talk of Arturito on this blog, and we’ll devote ourselves only to real robots, like self-replicating robots.

And to highlighting the real inventors in Chile:
A schoolboy was the king of the USM Inventions Contest

Still, I want to say that it bugs me that yesterday Fernando Paulsen said on Última Mirada, the late-night newscast, that “he who laughs last laughs best”, insinuating that if the treasure is discovered on Juan Fernández then it’s proven that the robot works. Which, as I’ve already said, is a reasoning error, besides the fact that it’s been shown to us that the treasure will very probably never be dug up (read: The fall of “The Great Scam”).

(To all journalists: study logic, so you don’t make fools of yourselves. I know it’s a drag, but “it’s better to keep quiet and be thought ignorant than to open your mouth and prove it”)

I’d been fed up with Tolerancia Cero, the political talk show, for a while, so now I have more excuses to watch “El día menos pensado”, the paranormal stories show, which is less far-fetched :) than Arturito.
