 Remark

The organizing committee emphasizes that it does not agree with Mr. Crother’s style

 and approach and his paper does not represent the aim of the conference. Nevertheless,

Dr. Szekely as the chair of the committee decided to accept Mr. Crother’s paper on the ground

that its topic is sensitive from a philosophical point of view and it may inspire interesting

discussion even if  Mr. Crother’s arguments seem to be highly problematic. 

Furthermore, independently of their correct or erroneous character,

we want to give to Mr Crorther the opportunity for a fair discussion of his ideas.
