If he says so! I am always out for a good rigging providing it involves
logic and true interest in the Universe!


I usually like Feyerbend [simply because he nicely brings up the stink
everyone else doesn't claim to smell] so I wonder if this is out of
context. I wonder what fields science has been "rigged" to favor?
Supernatural explanations? Plato's ideals? The accountant or laywer's
view of natural history?
