Default Re: Lee Jones Flawed Thinking

Hi Nick:

1. As you are well aware, magazine columnists often are forced to trim worthwhile content from articles in order to meet publishers' length restrictions. Jones may have wanted to discuss at least some of these issues but was forced to trim them due to publishing constraints.

It was the feature article in the magazine, so it's unlikely in my opinion that length restrictions would be an issue like it might be with a columist.

2. Jones may be aware of the issues you raise but believed that printing them in that article wasn't important compared to other things he had to say.

If Jones writes about the issues that David raises, then his conclusion that Harrington got it wrong and his statement about this being mathematically provable wouldn't make sense anymore.

Best wishes,
Mason
