I started out writing a message that said this message was
97% true, but that there was an arguable 3%, namely:

   The problem is that most folks in AI think they are scientists * * *

I was going to pick a nit with the word "most".

Then, I remembered that the AAAI-86 Proceedings were
split into a "Science" track and an "Engineering" track,
the former being about half again as thick as the latter...
