  There has been a resurgence of claims and questions about the Turing test and its value. If AI were quantum physics, by now several "Schr"odinger's" cats would have been killed. This paper presents a wealth of evidence, including new archival sources, and gives original answers to several open questions about Turing's 1950 paper.
