ook, whether or not he is the most talented observer is not interesting
to me. I'm not sure at all that one *can* define "most talented" in any
objective fashion. Some people will be better than others at seeing some
details, but perhaps not as good at seeing others. It seems unlikely to
me that one person will be able to see all details better than anyone
else.


Well maybe SJO should be considered like the decathlon winner at the Olympics.
The best all-around observer. :-)
