In the context of a different discussion he remarked in a post on the marxism list that if one knew all the facts involved one would not have to study the relations among them. As I say, it was a parenthetical remark and it was not until almost a year later in wandering through some old posts that I came across it. Hence the lack of any discussion with him on the point. (I have a hard copy of the post someplace but currently all my printouts are in one chaotic pile and I wouldn't be able to put my hands on it. Until I do regard this as a remembered paraphrase, not as Jim's precise words.)
But he was profoundly wrong on that, though how much it influenced his thought and practice in general I do not know. Carrol
