We got a letter!
Dan Saretwitz was kind and gracious enough to acknowledge our message. His reply is:
Dr. Herbert--thanks for your letter; really interesting stuff. We know from Kuhn that it takes a long time to get rid of an old paradigm; experts, perhaps more than others, have lots of information at their fingertips to strengthen their rationalizations!
Dan
His courtesy is much appreciated and his point is good and deftly taken.
