Abstract

One good way to start a lively discussion is for the opening discussor to disagree sharply with the speaker. Unfortunately, I happen to agree with Dr. Miller’s point of view, so that I must adopt the alternative technique of arousing discussion by re-emphasising some of Dr. Miller’s points as sharply as possible.
