Hi Bill,

Your points are well taken and I agree.  But what I took from the 
article was that these papers (I have tried them, and love and hate 
them) are not the final iteration he (nor I) would hope for.  If we 
all accept these as nirvana and don't keep asking for more paper 
development, development may slow down or cease.
