If you really want to try to rewrite it without the first person, and make it even remotely close to as easy to understand, be my guest. This is a very common style for proofs. --[[User:Readams|Readams]] 15:59, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
== confusion PCs are not FSMs ==
How is the following statement confusing? ''"Actually, these are computer programs written in general-purpose programming languages which are Turing Machines (the GP languages are, therefore, called Turing-complete), while the actual computers executing the programs are FSMs."'' I have included it into the article even before looking into the discussion to disambiguate the popular confusion: [http://groups.google.com/group/sci.math/browse_frm/thread/a19842fff35d1ca2/e7d0c7b501d31e8c?lnk=st&q=PC+fsm+turing+poll&rnum=1#e7d0c7b501d31e8c "Poll: Are PCs Turing Machines?"] Thi is the actual and vast confusion. What I see at this page proves my doubts. Please explain what is so confusing in my sentence? Peahaps it is rather wrong or inappropriate? --[[User:Javalenok|Javalenok]] 09:02, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
