... His reply essentially was, "Oh, it's category theory language. Well, I won't allow any of that in MY notes. No analyst would use that language."

That's analysis, isn't it? Go ask an analyst." Cheers, and Seasons' Greetings, -- FEJ Linton [For admin and other information see: http://www.mta.ca/~cat-dist/ ]
