Dear Frank, (01)
When a person writes an email note (or even a book) about topic X,
it is impossible to infer what that person believes about topic Y. (02)

Of course. I have said that in many different ways in many different
publications. For a list of them with pointers to the recent ones, see (04)

For slides of recent talks with pointers to suggested readings, see (06)

have a strong grasp of the obvious. (09)

If you would like to get a clearer idea of how those signs are related,
I recommend the writings of C. S. Peirce. You can start by reading
the following paper: (011)

Peirce's Contributions to the 21st Century (012)

It's a good book. I have a copy of it. (014)
I also recommend the following papers, which discuss some of the
reasons why AI systems based on formal logic have failed to achieve
true intelligence (or even a decent level of artificial intelligence): (015)
