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.
