Dear Jacob,
You are absolutely right,
I was very much excited and clear when I read Randy J.Read 's paper

its a must read paper for all students like me.

To understand the fundamentals of any discipline, I have always found
it completely worthwhile to go back to the original source, where the

valuable, although not always possible. I wonder whether others agree
with me about this...but I feel pretty strongly about this matter.
Often one can read many reviews on some subject, which never really get
to the gist of the matter, but when one reads the original source, the
subject is usually laid out clearly because guess what: nobody knew it
yet, so it had to be explained clearly. Furthermore, one gets a sense
of the excitement of discovery, and the unsurety about some new
proposed hypothesis which has not yet become cannonized into fact. For
this reason, it is sometimes even worthwhile to saunter down to
the...library!
