Dear Editor,
Thanks to Kevin Talbot for a wise and timely caution, prefaced by an apt quotation from Jeremy Bentham. Bentham also observed:
"He who thinks and thinks for himself, will always have a claim to thanks; it is no matter whether it be right or wrong, so as it be explicit. If it is right, it will serve as a guide to direct; if wrong, as a beacon to warn. "
