Stephen, List,
Not a problem, we all must begin from the doubts we actually have, and there a few things we have
more doubts about than whether a given description or theory of X is really a good description or
adequate theory of X, and that is every bit as true if X = inquiry as anything else. Indeed, the
whole point of an "inquiry into inquiry" is just to find an adequate theory of inquiry.
What prompted me to open this particular can of worms — Dispersion, Uncertainty, Doubt, Entropy —
was the linkages that potentially exist, at a very abstract logical and mathematical level, between
this complex of subjects and Peirce's hints about the nature of the inquiry process.
