Nooo, I was supposed to be saving other people from having to read it! But I suppose if you won't be saved, you won't...

The description of Richter is the reason why I kept the book afterwards. It is particularly excellent, and I think I read it after watching Public Eye and I'd been floundering about hear trying to explain how awesome Alfred Burke's face was and failing and then there was that. :lol:

As to the Philosophy, I got this when trying to write Outcomes of War because it bugged me that I didn't know what Richter's subject was. He was hardly likely to be a scientist, and Lit. of some kind didn't seem quite right, so I was assuming one of the social sciences but couldn't think which one, until Philosophy finally occurred to me. I can't remember now why, but I did some obviously not too dusty internet and episode rewatching detecting. But, yeah, I don't know much about it. And Richter is always up for a debate anyway!

However, I'm still giggling at my rewatch of "Committee Man". Like, no-one questions why the other doctors, the dentists and the vet have been rejected by "the authorities" for the position. EVERYONE KNOWS WHY.

Indeed. Though, to be fair, the dentists, doctors and vet had turned it down on grounds of being too busy, but the chemists etc. were not deemed good enough because there was only one man for the job. :-D
