conflict  between literary and oral
cultures, just as there is (or will be, one  speculates) conflict between
'proper doctoring' and osteopathy (and the  joke is that Willis introduces
himself, not as a doctor, which would be  understood, and might even confer
authority/respect, but as an osteopath,  which would, if understood, likely
provoke  hostility/ridicule).



Hmmm...gets me thinking that there may be, scattered throughout the novel,  a 
whole number of examples of the confrontation of the Common Man with various  
aspects of New Science/Technology...?!?
