Sorry, you failed the Turing Test.
You asked me to "recall" I.A.Richards
I wrote a response as if I.A.Richards was a product who was under
recall/warranty fix.
You mistook my implicature, which often happens when I'm typing to people.

Thanks for your patience.
I loved your "You failed the Turing Test". You are so generous in allowing

As from now, I'm cancelling 'recall' from my vocabulary!
