I love this analogy, Rick.

Here, we do well to meditate on the advice given to
Arthur Whitney by Ken Iverson, which Whitney recounted
so:

** Another time when I was concerned about getting
** credit for some idea I had, he said, �Arthur, if
** it�s a really good idea, you�re going to have to
** shove it down people�s throats. Don�t be worried
** about getting credit.�

The history of the dissemination of perceptual control
theory fits that perfectly.
