Maybe this is on the frivolous side, but what the heck. With regards to Gibbard’s statue/clay example, is it ‘Lumpl’ (Lump – L) or ‘Lump1’ (Lump – one)? I’ve seen it both ways, mostly ‘Lump – L’. Unfortunately, Reidel used exactly the same character for ‘1’ and lower case ‘l’ back in the day when you scrutinize the original paper at 200%. Lump1 makes more sense to me, but it’s not like there’s any contrast with a ‘Lump2’ in the paper. It’s always driven me crazy!
Ha, ha – does anyone know?
