Is that the cause for the mass of bibliographical references and footnotes
in scholarly works?
How does the exchange of knowledge between different disciplines work?
Should the one call the other "Master" with a devote ko-tao?
And what is accuracy worth? "Fuehrer" means "leader", but we all know what
is meant.
