Hi Sergio,

I've been following this recent discussion about the use of the term
'generative' and, finally, I decided to abandon for a while my Peninsular
isolation just to disagree a bit with everybody. Even with good, old, Homeric
Karel, although, this time, a bit less than usual.

How could anyone disgree with Karel's charming (`recanting') message?

Frankly, I
don't see this is taking us anywhere, apart from being very happy anytime some
eminent MIT professor is magnanimous enough to make some reference to other
frameworks in a footnote.

Tibor was KIDDING. (Weren't you, Tibor?)
