Maybe a naive question. The Lucas-Penrose thesis turns upon Lucas
producing an appropriate Godel sentence under certain circumstances. And a
Turing Machine is not able to do this? Is it really that hard to program a
computer such that it can "produce" a Godel sentence upon request? And if
the computer can be programmed to do this, has it proven that it too is not
a machine?
