Dmitri replies to Michael Glynn,
No harm done, Michael, and no offense intended. If you re-read what I
said and what I implied about friend Lluba's statistical approach, you
will see that you and I tilt alike. Of course the final judgment should
be aesthetic rather than numerical. By the same token, Don Foster's
"invention" by computer of an additional Shakespearean poem some years
ago was rightly demolished by Ron Rosenbaum. My point of contention was
the suggestion that I had been taken in by deliberately imperfect
English usage on Alex's part, something he would be the first to deny.
