Dear All,
When I post to the list, I often compose in MS Word before pasting my corrected draft into an email. In the previous note to Terry, I seem to have used the next-to-last draft. One paragraph in the post is incorrect, the paragraph in which I demonstrate that the authors of the selected list of examples do, indeed, understand something about theory and theory construction.
This paragraph should have read,
"You might not like the kinds of theory that all these authors represent, but they are all theorists of distinction. The authors on the selective list include three authors of two of the most highly cited design theory books of our time, and the group of authors includes two Nobel laureates in economics. It also include a physical chemist whose work some believe should have won the Nobel Prize – and two of his students did go on to win the prize. I feel comfortable in arguing that the list of books and papers given as examples are theoretically sound."
Yours,
Ken
