Additional Details

"I have seen the book by Mr. Cuneo, but have not had time to study it thoroughly. The attempt to strengthen the analogy between physical and socio-political concepts has always been ineffective, so, unfortunately, I have no hope that it would be better in this case. I do not wish to discourage him, but I also do not want to encourage him to pursue deceptive analogies."
