This newsletter is likely to a bit technical, but I hope the gist of the argument is available to everyone who persists through the technicalities. In my last newsletter, I said that mathematicians and physicists are the greatest fundamentalists in the world. That seems to have caused some heartburn and disagreement, and makes me think that the assertion needs more evidence in its favor. I will focus on mathematics, since it's the subject I know better of the two.
