Somewhat related is Rothbard's law:
Rothbard suggested that an otherwise talented individual would specialize and focus in an area at which they were weaker--or simply flat out wrong. Or as he often put it: "everyone specializes in what he is worst at."
Eh?
Why, "No,..."
That re-statement is, after all, what I wrote--or certainly meant to write that I'd understood you to have argued.
By the way, I think Rothbard himself necessarily disconfirms Rothbard's law --whether or not one agrees with him! "In such an environment it is not surprising that the ills of technology should seem curable only through the application of more technology..." John W Aldridge
"boring stuff" approx'ly = "what you know" approx'ly = "what...end[s] up seeming trite to others" ?
By the way, do you have anything against Lewis Carroll? A society committed to the notion that government is always bad will have bad government. And it doesn't have to be that way. — Paul Krugman
He (Carroll--that was a pseudonym, wasn't it? ) was a mathematician? And he "specialized" in writing the "Alice" fables?
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson > was an English author, mathematician, logician, Anglican clergyman and photographer.
which of these did he do badly, or boringly?

"The rest of my speech" (he explained to his men) "You shall hear when I've leisure to speak it. But the Snark is at hand, let me tell you again! 'Tis your glorious duty to seek it! "To seek it with thimbles, to seek it with care; To pursue it with forks and hope; To threaten its life with a railway-share; To charm it with smiles and soap!

But beware of the Baker's fate
They hunted till darkness came on, but they found Not a button, or feather, or mark, By which they could tell that they stood on the ground Where the Baker had met with the Snark. In the midst of the word he was trying to say, In the midst of his laughter and glee, He had softly and suddenly vanished away--- For the Snark was a Boojum, you see.

And one shouldn't forget about the dangers posed by the Jubjub bird and the frumious Bandersnatch

Folks, goodnight. Prox has been at the keyboard/terminal too long already today.
PS: Barbara is right, Migu. You spend too much time here, too. ;^)
