Besides the above points, a "rigorous and objective analysis" is work for bean counters...and is only interesting to other bean counters.
So von Neumann, Kahn, Schelling and Nash are boring, huh. I'd rather follow their examples than spend year after year chitchatting on Usenet. Such an intelligent and creative man, what a waste.
What got the Cypherpunks rolling was not "rigorous and objective analysis."
Good point, but where did you ever hear me say analysis was enough?
Faustine has gradstudentitus. She or he will likely get his or her Masters or maybe even Ph.D. and will then vanish into the bowels of the Office of Implementational Policy Assessment, commuting to work each morning on the Metro, hoping to advance to GS-13 level before age 40, and generally living a life of quiet desperation. But her or his analysis papers will be suitably dry and rigorous...and ignorable.
For someone who claims not to know whether I'm a woman or not, your overactive imagination certainly got busy on the details. Unlike you, I'm not so easily trolled into showing my hand. So if whipping up some dreary banalities for me makes you feel better, go right ahead. Though you're so far off, it really is amusing. Speaking of straw men and your overactive imagination, did you ever find anything in the archives to support your rant about my interpretation of the first and second amendments? Just wondering. ~Faustine. *** The right to be let alone is indeed the beginning of all freedoms. - --William O.
