*Shrug*  I did read it, but didn't have to get to the
acknowledgements to figure out who the influences were.  If you went
to certain places, you heard a lot of similar ranting about maximum

it works and worshipped parsimony as the One True Method.  This
article just sounded like more of the same re-warmed week-old
