Invent and create are pretty close cousins. My comment applies equally
well to create. I didn't think he'd used the word invent which is why I
had it in quotes as I wasn't sure it was strictly correct. So, let me
restate: Supporting the extension of the internet isn't even close to
creating it.


The actual verb he used was neither invent nor create.

Matt, I took the initiative a few years ago and invented my own
computer. Bought all the pieces, took `em home, and invented a computer
out of them!

Yes.

If one wishes to understand Gore's statment, and clearly not everyone
does want to understand it, one needs to consider it in the context
of the question he was asked. He was asked about his qualifications
for political office. 'Inventing' or 'creating' the internet, in the
sense of the technological work, would be irrelevent to his
qualifications
for political office. So clearly, that is not what he meant.

More like assembled a computer rather than created it.
