Since I still continue vacillating between the two positions could you
summarize why ABB was absolutely correct? There are some obvious
arguments in favour of it and I think Chomsky outlined strong reasons on
why W is a special case (are your arguments similar ones?). Additionally
the arguments against ABB are non-obvious, though, to my mind, not
irrational. Also, is Leiberman admitted under ABB?
