The
view
that
machines
cannot
give
rise
to
surprises
is
due,
I
believe,
to
a
fallacy
to
which
philosophers
and
mathematicians
are
particularly
subject.
This
is
the
assumption
that
as
soon
as
a
fact
is
presented
to
a
mind
all
consequences
of
that
fact
spring
into
the
mind
simultaneously
with
it.
It
is
a
very
useful
assumption
under
many
circumstances,
but
one
too
easily
forgets
that
it
is
false.
A
natural
consequence
of
doing
so
is
that
one
then
assumes
that
there
is
no
virtue
in
the
mere
working
out
of
consequences
from
data
and
general
principles.
The replay is still saving.
