Perhaps all he intended was to encourage Bob Rohner, and he did not intend his words to be taken as an endorsement of any kind, however tentative, for others to consider. We are lucky in this regard, because we can ask him for clarification. He will surely be willing to correct any misapprehensions that may have come about in this connection and put that particular question to rest. Should his intent have been a tentative endorsement for the wider public, we can then proceed to reconsider the implication that this siscussion has been a joke and a distraction. Eric
