Whoa, I missed the February stuff there. Well, there certainly are a lot of 
proposals there... I'm not sure which one I think is best. Your proposal 
certainly is a good one, given the idea of a particular cultural influence 
on what we call science. But I don't see science as a cultural thing, or 
there being terribly different styles of it. I mean, do people in China or 
India do it differently than in the west? They come to basically the same 
conclusions don't they? As far as I know you only get the right answers if 
you do it right, so there's only really one way. Perhaps I need to study 
the topic more. I do like ciplogji too.
