- What I find more interesting about this Kalki episode is that through the
- entire process, the Kalki apparently did not understand Thompson's
- arguments well enough to carry them on independently, and had to defer
- to posting an entire chapter out of his book. I guess Kalki has no
- opinions on the subject unless Thompson provides them. Either that, or
- they realize a good book salesman will not be able to make a sale of a
- book who's appeal depends on the illusion of new scientific arguments
- when a public posting of part of the book might expose its illusionary
- nature.
