I have to admit that when I saw the subject line of this message, then the
title of the book, my mind immediately jumped to the conclusion, "Oh, no:
here comes 'Intelligent Design' for mathematics!"

Thankfully, it's not *that* bad, but it kind of reminds me of Chisanbop, a
math fad from Korea some years ago, the only bit of which stuck with me is
the ability to count to 99 on ten fingers.
