Talk:Alan H. Goldstein

Untitled
Tried to find a reasonable formulation of the "animat test" referred to in the article. I did not find any formulation concrete enough to use as the basis of an article, at least via Google. The Salon article by Dr Granger that comes up as a high match certainly refers to tha animat test, but does not describe it in any concrete form.

Beware too that the term animat is already used in several contexts, some of which are far removed from the usage suggested in this article. --Shoka 21:52, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

In fact wikipedia already has an article on animat in the sense of artificial animal, with no indication that it includes any of the features that Dr Goldstein dicusses. So the term is already ambiguous. --Shoka 21:57, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Added a concrete-form description of the "animat test" from a Salon article I just read. And also, if the "animat" wikipage doesn't seem to refer to Goldstein's usage of the term, that doesn't seem to be a problem here, just means that the animat page could use some more updating. radimvice 07:56, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
