- pistoriusp 16y agoI actually just thought it was an interesting discussion point for strategies like this; I also pointed out that he might be playing the fool. Did not mean to garner offense.
- michael_dorfman 16y agoNo offense taken, but the point is, there's no "like these." You're comparing two very different things. Knuth's comment was aimed at piqueing the interest of the tiny fraction of people who might want to come see him at a TeX celebration-- which has absolutely nothing to do with hyperbole in marketing press releases.
