Perhaps I should restate the 2 miracles along a slightly different axis: 1) If one adopts Storms's viewpoint, there is no scientific revolution -- merely a different interpretation of accepted theory. So the "miracle" of a technology so revolutionary that it reconfigures the origin of human social organization (the campsite fire) is not compounded by a revolution in accepted theory -- merely revolution in the *interpretation* of accepted theory. Mills is applying Ockham's Razor to surgically remove the equivalent of a brain tumor on the body of accepted theory that has grown up over the last century, and then reinterpreted what was left to more accurately fit facts that were in evidence before the F&P phenomenon. Other scientific revolutions were not really this revolutionary, eg. the removal of the epicycles by Copernicus, the unification of light, electricity and magnetism by Maxwell, the incorporation of momentum into the physical state by Newton, etc. provided not nearly such a profound reduction of theoretic cancer and weren't even motivated by a great technological utility that needed to be explained. The combination of such a technological leap -- not in instrumentation but in useful phenomenon -- and such a profound reduction of theoretic cancer is unprecedented. 2) The conflation of not one but two entirely different energy sources -- either of which would provide the profound technological utility. I guess what might help buy this enough to start diving into the theory more seriously would be a chronology of the genesis of this theory to see to what degree Mills is guilty or innocent of what he accuses others: at hoc over-fitting to achieve these "miracles" of theory and technology.
