Notwithstanding the forgoing, for purpose of scholarly use, business people, journalists, and students may quote passages from this book (giving
full attribution to the author) without charge and without obtaining proper written permission, so long
as the cumulative total of such quotations are less than 50 words in length in any single work, web site, or article.
And you witness dramas about getting
attribution probabilities right — for example, the American Physical Society statement on climate change, which has a few of their members foaming — and you realize that the scientific community is
full of sticklers about getting the uncertainties right (
as they should).
