For those of use with ageing grey matter, which law belongs to Sturgeon?
Theodor Sturgeon gave the keynote address at a science fiction convention a number of years ago. He gave a glowing overview of the rosy state of the field, etc etc. Later on during the Q&A, a heckler asked him how he could say that stuff with a straight face when 90% of the science fiction being written was total crap. Sturgeon thought for a few seconds, and agreed: "Yes, 90% of science ficntion is crap. But then, 90% of everything is crap". /Valdis
