That may very well be true.  I've not thought about it sufficiently to 
have a developed view.

What most struck me is rather the "theological" nature of the 
mathematics being performed in AtD.

Yashmeen seems to think she will achieve some sort of transcendence if 
she can penetrate into the mysteries of the zeta function.  This is 
complete nonsense, and TP surely knows that it is complete nonsense -- 
and that is important, I think.  She is trying to achieve with 
mathematics something that mathematics can never in principle provide.  
[And the very name 'zetamaniac' is indicative of the sort of lunacy one 
often runs into on rec.sci.math.]

And the Quaternion/VectorAnalysis debate is entirely theological.  
Electro-magnetism can be formulated in either vernacular, and it makes 
no difference which is adopted -- something again that TP would 
certainly know.  It's only in various quack science formulations of 
this theory that quaternions are required.
