That JvN, why, he’ll never be a narcissist, not even in God’s eyes (though maybe he was personally afraid of that :)

The narcissists are the ones who, when St Peter makes the introductions, tactlessly and without regard for potential embarrassment, demand that God explain turbulence?

      Sadly Richardson's ardent pacifism was Poisson up a wall :-( As Ronnie Raygun said: https://youtu.be/EPA9B3YZtlc?t=199 https://youtu.be/EPA9B3YZtlc?t=199

        Poisson on the moon, even. Still, could be worse: even Poisson into the wind isn't as bad as being immortalised with the caption "I'm Nailed Right In".

        If LFR were alive today (assuming* the underlying mechanism of war has not changed) perhaps he would take his argument online, in the hopes that people might be able to play with the data in his patiently gathered .xls files and decide for themselves? Unfortunately, nothing tends to squick the Spiessbürger/petits bougies so quickly as sheets and peace. Lagniappe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTBx-hHf4BE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTBx-hHf4BE * a justified assumption, I'd say: the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but that's certainly the way to bet.
