And now having compiled the tables, do they prove anything? Do they
throw any interesting light on the vexing problem of conservatism vs. radi-
calism?

When making the compilation a number of points interesting to us
emerged, but viewing the completed work these points seem less significant
or else contradict one another, so we leave the tables to speak for them-
selves. Make your own deductions.
