Dear Jo,

This is... astonishing. I had, of course, heard the 'mythological' version of this story. I hadn't realized that the symptoms were so vague.

Of course: now I've heard that doctors have ingested *cholera* with no adverse effects.

What to make of all of this?!?! I come from the 'hard' sciences, but, although people shy away from the *math*, I feel like I can explain everything that I know quite easily, because the experiments are very extremely controlled and unambiguous. Even 'control experiments' aren't really necessary because, to be frank: either your lights turn on.... or they don't.

I always respected the *other* side of academia out of professional courtesy.

I suppose that I no longer extend that courtesy.
