      Spot on, yeah. Although as pointed out just above, this wasn’t actually Weizenbaum’s position. But in an era of letters to the editor, perhaps using a little rhetorical trickery to preempt a two-month-long back and forth might be excusable. It’s a strawman nonetheless; but this letter is a screed.
