Letter: Letters: Saying something

Published 27 February 1993

From ERIC SOLOMON

I enjoyed the Feedback note on the minimal summary to the scientific
paper on the Ising problem (23 January). However, the implicit information
content of the statement ‘No’, is considerably greater than that of the
summary for the paper ‘A New Algorithm for Optimisation’ (tact constrains
me from naming the author) published in Mathematical Programming, vol 3,
no 1 of August 1972. This read merely: ‘Observations concerning the subject
matter of the paper have been presented.’
