That depends on the uncomputable function. Some can make you very well screwed indeed.

Right, but it's not necessarily true, or even likely, hence my point.

It's all there in Wei Dai's examples on everything-list and one-logic, I really wish people would read them, maybe we'd have an actual discussion then.

I did read the links, (including the link to the empty stub article!), and the google group discussions all seemed to end, from my brief perusing of them, with them coming to the consensus that Wei Dai hadn't established his provacative, counterintuitive point. (And some of the exchanges here show the same.)

At the very least, he should summarize the reasoning or examples, as per standard practice, so we know there's something to be gained from going to the links. This is especially true given that most readers had assumed that the opposite of Wei Dai's premises are true and uncontroversial.
