Thanks it is good to know there are still those who think there is a truth to be settled by politicking like real gentleman. Still I love how his favourite question of universal grammar was utterly sidelined when it was shown that problems of parser ambiguity also show up in the vision system, a much older neural structure.

Parser ambiguities have never really been a major focus of Chomsky’s research. He’s certainly never argued for the existence of UG on the basis of parser ambiguities.
