Re: "Give Caesar what is Caesar's!",

Dear John M and Tim:
It seems that John M. and I have settled for what you might call: "Give
Caesar what is Caesar's!", rather than chase an argument that has already
run its course. Again, as P.W. Anderson (another QT , Sweedish prize earner
that I admire) said: "More is Different"!!! (Science, 1972). Indeed, if we
were Boolean-logic machines, having all these facts together we'd all come
to the same conclusion(s), but as we 're human... and not necessarily
strictly logical always; therefore, the expected outcome is that we shall
not all come to the same conclusion. Therefore, "Give Caesar what is
Caesar's!", remains the most logical injunction that one can hope for. But,
then, perhaps someone will disagree with even such a reasonable, logical,
2000+ year old injunction...
