Quote | Zachriel: Does a paternal family tree or even a typical spreading chestnut tree constitute a nested hierarchy (assuming suitable set categorizations)?
Quote | It depends on the level of analysis, so the answer is yes and no. A military hierarchy is a nested command structure. On the other hand, the general does not consist of, nor is derivable from the army. In the nested hierarchy of the army on the ground, he is just another soldier. So as always, it depends. |

Quote | Joe G: It depends on if the person making the claim is a complete loser- like you... But thanks for demonstrating that you have all the credibility of a crack-whore. |
Joe G just called Professor Allen a crack-whore. The question and answer is verbatum from a discussion I had with Prof. Allen in 2006. I have informed Joe G this, but that particular comment has not made it through moderation yet. I wouldn't want Professor Allen's comments to remain unattributed.
