At this time, we would like to take a close look at the influence of David Abel's work with the "Cybernetic Cut". A Google web search may give us some idea as to whether the concept belongs on the Tardheap or the Ash Heap of History. Here are the current top listings:

A search for "Cybernetic Cut" on Google scholar returns these 5 hits:
