Thanks, Russ, I appreciate the help. Myself, I never got the "primary directive" of the calculus, or whatever it is called (that integration is the inverse of differentiation) until I graphed it. I hope you are well, Nick Nicholas S. Thompson Emeritus Professor of Psychology and Biology

Interesting! The common thread in both your responses seems to lie in consideration of consequences. The contradiction between Dave's suggestion that pressure to conform might disappear when with strangers (which we see on the internet in spades) and Steve's (and the article's) idea that a
