Too true! I remember his famous demonstration of a Turing Machine in which
he role-played the part of the machine's read-head, hopping on one leg
across the floor tiles of the lecture room in order to compute a simple
associative addition to demonstrate that "S-R reinforcement is
unremarkable, even a simple computing engine could do it; now, Ladies and
Gentlemen, suppose we were to concentrate on what human organisms can
do..."
Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, as it were.
Kind regards,
