Jeffrey,
You're NOT alone ... I confess that not only am I not up on the need for
a reinterpretation of such "claims" ... I wasn't even aware of the
existence of any such in the first place!

PS - now that I'm retired, I have a bit more time for enjoyable pursuits
like reading fiction ... if you should later snag a PDF, please favor me
a copy via e-mail ;)

This is a topic to which I have never before been exposed, which perhaps reveals considerable parochialism on my part. My first response, then, was "What the heck?" Now I'm trying to decide whether to spend the money to access the article (I'm not a subscriber to the journal) because the topic just seems so fascinating. Am I the only one who isn't up on this?
