Steven, list,

Steven, if I tried to do that, I might as well start with the Ancient
philosophers and mathematicians and move my way up; and I don't see you
trying to champion the cause of Euclid. In any case, my post is not a
published work in scholarship; it's an attempt to discuss the work. In the
work itself, credit is given where it should be. My aim was to discuss the
ideas, which are partly Benjamin's, partly Charles's, and partly
Frederik's. Since it is assumed that participants have read, or are
reading, the book, and there is quite a lot going on in the chapter, I
aimed to grasp what is most essential and (re)present it.

But I appreciate your point about Benjamin's contributions, along with
Euclid's. If Benjamin's take on these ideas is of some further relevance
for the subject of the chapter, please continue and communicate the
relevance for diagrammatic experimentation.
