Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.  
-George Santayana

Not only has he been warned not to discuss it. But then he’s warned about his previous warning. Then he has to ask again if he can discuss this in ATMB. Then look, another thread in ATMB about this subject. Anyone care to learn from repeating history here?
