Tome?
Alas, yes. They are hours of life
expended as meaniglessly as
if I were watching TV. I normally
make notes as I read, if there
are significant "structures" in
a book. (I like to develop the
writer's case better than the
writer does. It aids my
understanding.)
With his, I was making
four pages of notes for every page
of his--almost all were fallacies
and such, little was new, and
none matched the "proofs' that
already exist.
But, gods bless him for his literary
success.
I did not say that you stated that
choice, but that you alluded to it.
The secific, formulated choice
existed before your e-mail. Sorry
if it was taken otherwise.
I did understand your context of
the comments as given and did not
mean to put anything into your words.
Sorry if it appeared otherwise.
thanks--mel

Actually, the most gifted scientists trumpet the value of
imagination frequently and they are awed by it.
