ang. ''In his response to Dawkins' review, Sokal agrees that the 'postmodernism generator' is amusing, but asserts that it could not pass off as 'the real thing (i.e. pass the academic postmodernist version of the Turing test)'. Sokal's reference here is to famous 'blind' test proposed by Alan Turing, who suggested that a computer could be described as intelligent if a human being could not distinguish its responses from those of another human. Sokal goes on to say that the program's 'local structure' of a few sentences at a time "is an inauthentic imitation of a certain postmodernist academic style, they don't have the global correlations characteristic of real academic articles (even postmodernist ones). It would be really interesting to know if the program could be improved in this respect." He concludes by stating firmly that articles in Social Text "do NOT resemble the output of the Postmodern Generator" (Alan Sokal http://www.gakushuin.ac.jp/~881791/Alan.html (14.10.98), taken from Sokal's e-mail conversation with Hal Tasaki, Department of Physics, Gakushuin University on 9 July 1998).''
