'The enclosed [paper] will indicate our progess in simulating human problem-solving processes with a computer ... we obtain rather striking improvemnets in problem-solving ability ... in one case [the machine] created a beautifully simple proof to replace a far more complex one in [Principia]. ... The machine required something less than five minutes to find the proof. I am not sure that these facts should be made known to schoolboys. You may also be interested in the evidence of our paper that the learned man and the wise man are not always the same person....'

Dear Professor Simon, (September 21, 1957)
Thank you very much for your letter, and for the enclosure. I am delighted by your example of the superiority of your machine to Whitehead and me. I quite appreciate your reasons for thinking that the facts should be concealed from schoolboys. How can one expect them to learn to do sums when they know that machines can do them better? I am also delighted by your exact demonstration of the old saw that wisdom is not the same thing as erudition.
Yours sincerely
Bertrand Russell.
