That's unfair. The mention of diss occurred in a
different context, where person who brought the topic
of social v. natural sciences did so in the broadest
possible way (saying that there was a big diff), and I
didn't suggest or even direct that he or anyone read
my opus, but mentioned its length by way of saying
that there was a  lot to b esaid about this, most of
which might be beside the point unless one knew what
the specific question was; and I invited further
specific questions to which discussion of that sort
might be directed. Anyone who made the mistake of
reading my diss, by the way, hoping for insight into
the demarcation criterion, would mostly be
disppointed. Except in an oblique way I don't discuss
the issue. jks
