ERR5RS:Point Counterpoint

From SchemePunks

        We do not influence the course of events by persuading people
        that we are right when we make what they regard as radical
        proposals. Rather, we exert influence by keeping options
        available when something has to be done at a time of crisis.
                                            --Milton Friedman

This page is for collecting illustrations of different points of view for ERR5RS authors to keep in mind as they do their work. Hopefully, we will all avoid hubris.
