It seems that Milton Friedman's work and "libertarianism" itself were both just PR in the beginning: https://www.alternet.org/2013/09/true-history-libertarianism... So it's not so much a questi

"Visibly pushdown automata" are just a rediscovery of input-driven pushdown automata. It's sad that the authors of the VPL papers never acknowledged this AFAIK, even while writing more papers on the same topic.
