Lindy won't like it if we spend much time on this. I was engaging DMA's mind experiment, the what-if about the Nazis and the Brits, not Brown's book. Seems to me that a poster who is into mind experiments would appreciate the mind experiment that is Brown's book. I guess he doesn't see it that way. As for Brown's book, I'm reminded of an old discussion about sci-fi books and movies about the environment. Folks were complaining about lies and half truths in them. But that's what novelists do. They make up stories and they come up with enough facts, half-truths, and lies to produce an engaging yarn that's plausible enough for the reader to suspend disbelief. There have always been stories about Knights Templar and Masons and Mary Magdalene out there. He just embellished and spun them all together. I can find no fault in it. I haven't seen a movie in a theater since Jurassic Park, the first one. The friend who called and suggested we go see this one hasn't been to the movies in about as long. But we're planning to see this one. I'm sure Brown's bank account is loving the controversy.
