Nice job on my super nakade problem BTW. It does seem that there is a conflict (related to the textbook issue) of professionals and other institutionalized people - being trained to standards, and convention.. (lets face it...before the web, a lot of this culture was bound by mere convention) and then all of a sudden finding some sort of finite and solid foundation - in an environment more infinitely open than any other. Its hard to reconcile these two things, especially since the progeny of each school both treat their conventions like a tradition.
I agree. Like the encyclopedia, we should concentrate on creating a good textbook, rather than making it in a way that everyone will accept. (In previous posts, I may have said something contradictory to this, but have since changed my mind.) Which idea would make the best textbook? -LDan
