...here may lie the most important reason why young style seekers are returning to the '50s to find good design. They don't know where to look for it among their peers.

With so many uncertainties involved, Aczel's statistical argument is attractive, but it does not warrant his unqualified conclusion that, "The probability of extraterrestrial life is 1.00, or a number that for all purposes is 1.00. We are not alone...
