Hardly. If the rest of you hadn't agreed with his judgments most of the time, the Roadmap might look quite different. It's more like Potter Stewart on pornography.



But have the others agreed with his judgments because they are convinced of their correctness? Or is it more that the others have trusted the judgments of the one they consider to be an expert, and have either not dared to stand up to him or have simply been unqulified to do so? It amazes me that all of the existing scripts have apparently been encoded without any properly documented justification apart from one expert's unchallenged judgments.
