[PC-NCSG] Fwd: Re: [CWG-Stewardship] For your review: public comment summary and review tool

[Sam Lanfranco]

Stephanie, et. al.,

With regard to comments to WGs, I am reminded of  when the book "A 
Hundred Authors Against Einstein" was published as an attack on 
Einstein's theory of relativity. Einstein's response was that if he was 
wrong, one author would have been sufficient to refute him. Hopefully we 
are still focused on the weight of evidence and analysis, and not 
turning to running a scorecard on an opinions popularity contest.
