Fundamental concepts should be explained in the NR also, but in a different
style than in the LM: in the NR in a precise, technical man page-like way,
in the LM in a tutorial style. There should not be *information* in the LM
which is not also available from the NR, it should just be presented
differently.

What a private joy to relive the life of such a one while I mock the academic 
pretentions which supposedly formed a biography.
