The theorem is tossed about and misapplied by the uninformed, so the author gathered up quotes and responses he's been involved with on the internet and tackled a presentation for what he terms a "general audience." Mathematicians will turn to more sophisticated treatments; determined non-mathematicians with a strong bent for formal logic will be able to make their way through this explication. The author is a philosopher by training but has worked for a couple decades in computer science at the Swedish Institute of Computer Science and is affiliated with Lulea U. of Technology, Sweden.
