I just cannot stand it when people say the emperor’s new clothes are resplendent, yet I look at the imperial person and the poor ruler of the empire is completely undressed. The man is stark naked!

That is why I am adamant there is no such thing as ‘entanglement’ or a ‘quantum computer’ that actually works. Only a dope or a dupe believes one part of the EM field can affect another at a distance!

And R⁶RS is a HUGE PITA to use, bereft of features, yet THIS is the ADVANCED Scheme? Golly!

(The people who write and approve the papers, such as Bell and Clauser, are the dopes. The people who do not bother to critically read the papers from a standpoint of logic [not ‘knowledge of physics’, blah blah blah, but knowledge of logical reasoning] are the dupes. They merely take the word of others. They often repeat each other verbatim, as if they were robots, ‘So and so showed ...’ which in fact is not the case, because ‘so and so’ is one of the dopes.)

(Being able to repeat verbatim ‘So and so showed ...’, where ‘so and so’ is a dope, is what is called in some social circles ‘Critical Thinking’ or formerly ‘Skepticism’. In the world of medical practitioners it is called being ‘Science Based’.

Of course, it is neither critical thinking, nor ‘thinking’ at all. And it certainly is not scientific. To be scientific is to DOUBT what authorities supposedly ‘show’, when it makes no logical sense. Instead you must find their error!)

(That is why I am writing R⁷RS programs that will not work in R⁶RS. There are so many it boggles the mind. That some particular person would not write such programs doesn’t make them not exist!

On the other hand, there are basically no R⁶RS programs that will not run in R⁷RS, unless you consider syntax-case essential Which I would not, even if only because the R⁶RS syntax-rules is one of the obnoxiously incapable aspects of the standard!)
