Naah, you're misreading him.

It's just that he doesn't happen to use that specific term until that sentence; but from the context, it's pretty clear that he's begun to think of them as such quite a while earlier. Christian R.

Post #1,208 by CRConrad 7/9/01 4:33:58 PM Reply	Yeah, well, what else is new? I fully expected his whole readership to be basically analphabetic and not get that point... The only thing out of the ordinary here seems to be that he apparently didn't even know himself, what he wrote! Pshaw and Faugh and Humbug! Christian R.

Though I'd report possession of a companion book to Steve Allen's seminal Dumbth. It's Innumeracy - Mathematical Illiteracy and its Consequences, by John Allen Paulos. Pretty 'old' actually, \ufffd1988. Review by Isaac Asimov: An intelligent and good-natured analysis of the follies that arise from a lack of understanding (sometimes a willful lack) of science and mathematics. This pleasant book would improve the quality of thinking of anyone. Anyway, it's a nice tour-de-farce of the many egregious examples to be found daily - in any meeja. (As if we didn't already know; WTF - there's only the Two of Us MWKFE around these days, y'know? And sometimes.. I question the Other One) Ashton The Man Who Keeps The Man Who Knows Fucking Everything from, Excessive-Hubris ..especially about all that invisible stuff he can't 'see'
