I was at Prof Oppenheim's talk and it was very interesting. He
defined 'substantial' as how important it was to the piece of work. By
that he meant for example if you were reading a book and it was a 'who
dunnit' and you got to the last page where the 'murderer' was going to be
revealed but the name had been omitted for some reason, then that would be
regarded as 'substantial'.
Prof Oppenheim's opinion was that the concept of 'substantial' didn't
equate with 'volume', but did equate with 'significance'.
