Dear Chuck,
I have found your paper on Academia.edu (http://Academia.edu), have downloaded and read it, and will indeed take up your invitation to comment on it. I am therefore making this a new thread.
Before providing comments, please assure me that I am reading the correct piece: In short, it is from 17 Feb. 2011 and is 2.5 pages long. If this is not the correct version, please direct me to the appropriate one. Will wait to comment until then.
Best.
Derek Miller
