Preferring to see for himself, rather than accept the statements of others, he spent much time in critical observation, and was preparing to record the results of his extensive researches for the benefit of the world. He felt this to be his solemn duty, and asserted the same recently in one of his lectures, and also remarked, that, although willing and ready to give information to any asking it, he yet desired that his time should not be taken up by senseless questionings...

The author of that suggestion must have forgotten that the positions of the crews at the start are given out by lot, and I hope that he does not accuse any of his friends of using head-work or management in the drawing of places...
