 F's book is very well done ... in every respect.
 In this respect ... the endeavor [NN] is eminently successful.
 The respective merits ... of thematic and alphabetic arrangement are obvious.
•  Machines of the future cannot be built ... with current methods.
 Problems in using P can be avoided ... with Q.
 With the rise of P, ... Q has become easier.
 These measurements are in error, ... with the source of the error being P.
Physicists are working with P ... in the hope of studying Q.
 We cannot understand the nature of P ... without studying Q.
 We do not evaluate P ... without Q.
 There are disadvantages in attempting ... to do P without processing of Q.
•  New hemorrhagic fever viruses ... are discovered every year, and artificial as
well as natural environmental changes are favoring their spread.
 In the future, technology ... will allow radiation from the sun to provide
nonpolluting fuels as well as electricity.
 This evidence ... has precipitated a complete reconstruction of the view of lunar
History and the Earth's evolution as well.

2.5.4 Opposing

•  F's arguments ... were against the performative hypothesis.
 Such studies cannot count as evidence ... against a categorical view of grammar.
 Objections against the theory ... are often first formulated as a collection of
counter-examples.
Counter-examples ... can void the opponent's hypothesis.
 These methods/ principles/ comments ... run counter to the theory/ observations/
practice.
 This algorithm ... operates counter-intuitively.
 P ... remains/ requires only Q/ applies properly only to Q/ is applicable only to
Q.
 Perhaps the most illuminating story about old versus new products ...relates to
sugar substitutes.
 A study of the spread of Swahili ... is to determine its position versus the locally
spoken languages.
 One of the most frustrating lessons computers have taught us is that many of the
actions we think of as difficult are easy to automate – and vice versa.
 In practice, one notices a preference of a semantic type of explanation to a
pragmatic one, or vice versa.
•  The microwaves produced by interstellar gas clouds offer a glimpse of the size
of objects in space that otherwise may be invisible.
 For many years, no one looked through the ultraviolet window on the universe,
assuming that interstellar gas would absorb such radiation, ... but some probing
proved otherwise.
 Whereas physics is concerned with P, ... the central concern of cybernetics is Q.
 Reports can be substituted ... whereas facts cannot.
