Edit by "new user" AnnMBake (incept date 8 June 2006).
There is no question that the clarity of any article in WP can be improved, and some of the edit here is well-conceived, but in the process of trying to be concise it converts several accurate statements into misleading ones, many of them recognizable from pop philosophy books and non-peer-reviewed sources. In addition, it wholesale deletes the most important quotation from Peirce to have in any article about his philosophy, namely, his most often cited statement of the so-called "pragmatic maxim". All of these features of the edit violate principles of Verifiability and Reliability that are stated in the pages hanging off of [[WP:VER]] and [[WP:CITE]].
