I am grateful indeed for the many kind things said in the book. I never expected to deserve the descriptions lavished there; they still leave me somewhat dazed. I am spared much intellectual criticism that could be made of my work. Most of the authors let it off very lightly: that could be because it is too bland to excite conflict. But there is some criticism in what I have managed to read: a little on intellectual matters and the rest on pedagogical matters. I suppose this is what you would like me to respond to.
