Eric -
Of course, I have no expert knowledge, and haven't put that much time even into
reading their literatures as an outsider and tourist. So it is to be expected
that a lot of it will pass over me.
Several of these guys have either TED talks, or lectures that stream on the
web, which are shorter than reading their papers, but even more unsatisfying.
Oops. Too much text.
Awesome... thank you for throwing down that great (in depth) summary...
no matter how appropriate your many caveats might be on your own humble
engagement and understanding in such matters might be... it represents a
*huge* headstart for any of us interested in more than just arguing a
few points around the latest popular article on the topic.
As for too much text... it is definitely a lot and quite dense but
precisely what I hope for in this venue when I ask for such things.
Half of your references are entirely new to me, and your commentary on
the more familiar excruciatingly helpful in my framing of their work in
a larger context.
Thank you!
- Steve
