Since we're on the subject of a book by ...Siva,<br />Since we're on the subject of a book by Sokal & Bricmont I want to add a clarification: The authors have used a minimum and the most appropriate set of words (which also happens to be uncommon & inaccessible) to convey their thoughts.Prasad Venkathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11089741792503218617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37803175.post-49285804344048372692010-03-22T00:18:33.843-07:002010-03-22T00:18:33.843-07:00Just one more comment on this ;-)

I think...I had to look up epistemic relativity ;-)<br /><br />I think words are like essential tools. Some (bright) people seem to be fascinated with the tools rather than the product. Or worse, choose to work with the wrong ones.Freehithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11452640938248889804noreply@blogger.com
