M&D dust-jacket esoterica

[LBernier at tribune.com]

     Yes, a good example of angles in nature, might be a tree, which can be 
     broken down into a series of Y's or V's - IMHO, Nature is seldom 
     curvy, unless it's been exposed to forces such as water or wind, which 
     will, over time, smooth out the angles.

You may be onto something real here.  In the sense of deliberate and 
carefully set up by our author himself.  
     
In which case, I'll take up the matter with Mr. P. in person, once we are 
both the other side of the really Big Divide, and ask him how come S is 
"natural" and X is "man-made."  Many things natural display that X structure 
and/or formation, no?
