Nick Knisely More on Seitz’s argument regarding historical precedence

If you are going to refer to an article/comment/paper as being significant. Please post a link. There’s an awful lot of information out there and it is easy to lose the needles in the haystacks. It also doesn’t hurt to quote the key passages, as articles have a propensity for disappearing (my observation is the more telling the point the more likely it is to disappear). This… Read more »
