[edit]

If I remember correctly, "Conjectures and Refutations" is also the title of the first essay in the book's collection, and which sets the theme. This Wikipedia article ought begin by exposing this ambiguity. -smh@alum.mit.edu — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wolfamade (talkcontribs) 20:23, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Plagiarised material converted to block quote

…to avoid having to delete and so eviscerate the article. Shame on the editor that did this. Le Prof Leprof 7272 (talk) 02:05, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I will go a step further; how in bloody… did 19 non-IP editors edit this article over 6 years, including initially moving the awkward, IP-editor placed block of plagiarised text from on obviously novice-placed position on the page of the stub to its current integrated position, then remove the puffery of the back cover text, and not entertain any suspicion? Does AGF mean we accept miraculous manifestations of block text containing puffery, and not (as I did to establish the plagiarism) pick a sentence and search the web for it? This is unfathomable.
