6. Supporting Quotations from Published Works
In this section I present quotes from published works that I
believe support my ideas or add value to them. My goal is to present the evidence (present in published literature) that tends
to support the ideas present in the proposed heuristic.
In each section below, the links take you to pages where I present
quotes and commentary. I present the entire quotation (rather than follow the academic tradition of just citing the author
and the work in question) because it is assumed that the typical reader does not have access to these works. However, most
of the books cited are relatively inexpensive when obtained from a good used book store. Why not read a book or two?
If ordering a used book, I would suggest that you stick with books
rated 'very good' quality or better. There are some books out there rated 'acceptable' or 'good' which in my opinion
are in poor condition and not worth it to own.
This section is not as easy to read as the rest of this paper, but
the material presented is important and shows that the ideas presented have been touched on by many other authors.
There is much evidence, when accumulated and put together in one place, which suggests that the proposed
heuristic is based on sound principles from existing research. There is no definitive proof that is offered, nor can there
ever be for a heuristic.
