You might want to do a little research before you post something. Very concise.

Yeah, I had to be long-winded to keep up with Wilson :-) It's meant as a reference piece. There will be some shorter follow-ups.

I'll tell you honestly that I think this needs some reworking. As a colleague of mine once advised a doctoral student who was writing a dissertation: "Tell your reader what you plan to say in your introduction, say it in the following chapters, and then tell your reader what you have said in your conclusion."

This whole business is so complicated, it needs some sort of preface outlining your major points and what you will argue, and some kind of conclusion summing up what you have said. I don't mind reading long pieces, and this is clearly a very important and very complicated matter. But it needs to be presented more clearly.

Perhaps other Freepers may see it differently.
