As I'm sure you know, the age (old, new, or somewhere in between)
of an idea is not correlated with its value. People can and do
write and say nonsense about anything and everything. (02)
A historical analysis and presentation of a subject is a good way
to put things in perspective and to avoid the tendencies to jump on,
to reject, or to rename any particular idea. (03)
