Please edit the article if you are moved to, but don't trash it. I wrote most of the first portion and certainly will expect you to incorporate the material in that part in any rewrite you do. A rewrite that simply trashes the whole preceeding article is just an invitation to trouble. I agree that it would be very difficult to incorporate Larry's text, but there is a body of knowledge behind what he wrote which with research could be set forth.

Well, I want to just delete the whole thing and replace it with a short paragraph or two about epistemology. But then people would complain, and I don't like to do things if they are going to be disliked by everyone. If it's OK for me to completely rewrite the article, then I will. I would also like to do the same with [[Information warfare]], but the shortening of articles seems to be discouraged.
