Let me rephrase and try again...  The use of the words "the crisis in 
mathematics" in a sentence hardly constitutes a discussion of the 
"foundational crisis" in mathematics.  Surprisingly to me, I can find 
not any such discussion of the "foundational crisis" in AtD.  If I am 
mistaken, could you please point me to where this discussion occurs?
