I dunno. One's in a collection of essays on the writings of E. B. Holt and the other is in the journal, Behavior and Philosophy. I would guess that the readership is somewhat less than the circulation of the FRIAM list, but still, it's DIFFERENT people. People care about stuff other than new widgets, and they are interested in other people's thoughts on The Big Questions. Despite the fact that the US is kind of a cess pit of anti intellectualism, books do sell and people do read them.

It's not a new widget that's been built, and it does not include a new fact or measurement about the world. It refined talk that doesn't talk back.
