Bruno--you're doing great. I think it is the case where silence means
"I understand, continue", rather than disinterest.

The derivation of your thesis from first principles is a very compelling
idea. The somewhat startling and unorthodox conclusions you espouse are
bound to cause confusion unless all their underpinnings are well
understood. The arguments from others then can have a much more
specific target than the top-level conclusions; instead they will come
out earlier in the derivation process and at the time of introduction of
the controversial subject.

While I do have training in math and physics, I still benefit from your
targeting the motivated layman. Personally, I'm not interested in doing
the exercises on the list, but they are still useful to check my
understanding.

By all means, proceed. Personally, if I don't understand something or
have an objection, you'll hear about it on the list, but I think you
should take silence as assent.
