- ProfHewitt 6y agoThe link to the article is not an appeal to authority. Instead, the article is where you can learn more about the topic under discussion. There are many references in the article that provide additional background.

- ProfHewitt 6y agoThanks exdsq! The Wikipedia article on Carl Hewitt is way out date! And there is no way to fix it :-( Consequently, the Wikipedia article should be deleted in order not to mislead readers.
