(emphasis mine) You basically conceded the point without realizing it. Principles are not physical things although physical systems can conform to them.

These are the principles of computing, which rely on the physical actions of the mechanisms to model the logical operations.  There is no computing if those physical interactions are not present and reliable.  You were simply and demonstrably wrong about pcs and macs, you were simply and demonstrable wrong about comp systems, and now you're simply and demonstrably wrong about the requirements of the principles of computing in the comp systems.   You;re flying off on a tangent now, about things being being made to conform, that's equally as wrong as everything that preceded it and completely irrelevant.

Is this the sort of thing your category b knowledge is founded upon, gross "misunderstandings" of category a knowledge combined with machine gun irrationality?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
