He lied under oath!
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, May 14 2012 @ 09:26 PM EDT
If this "Dr" Mitchell is even a part-time programmer, he knows better

than this. I don't consider myself much of a programmer (for me, it's
more of a "necessity is the mother of all inventions" thing)... The
sad
thing is, EVEN I KNOW BETTER THAN THIS, and I don't have ANY college
degree!

Can't someone out there somehow trick him into admitting he knows
better than this? There is no way, in my mind, that I could reasonably
believe he is this dumb... And he is testifying under oath... Grrrrr!!!!!!!

Maybe someone should lookup things he has done before, like lectures he gave, or
papers he has written, or discussions he had with others before, that may have
details that contradict his testimony on these points. I wouldn't be surprise if
it were not that hard to find.

He is describing something called memoization. This is not the same thing as dynamically resolving a symbolic reference.

If the patent covers memoization then we have a lot of prior art. See the linked wikipedia article for an historical account going as far back as 1968.

He misdirected.

If I remember my abstract algebra correctly, a number can be a symbolic name.

Note the different field of mathematics: Abstract Algebra.

Not Computer Science, a branch of Applied Mathematics.
