That so far the material has been dealt with in a rather subjective way provokes the question whether a means can be found of handling it objectively. [...] This chapter considers the applicability of the statistical tests employed by Wilson and the general problem whether the Linear B data are suited to statistical analysis.

Евгений Клюев
– Не смей меня истолковывать! – завизжал, старик. – Понимаешь – и понимай себе, а истолковывать не смей! Понимать, хотя бы отчасти, – дело всех и каждого; истолковывать – дело избранных. Но я тебя не избирал меня истолковывать. Я для этого дела себя избрал. Есть такой принцип: познай себя. А такого принципа, как познай меня, – нету. Между тем познать – это и значит истолковать. Так что отойди от меня в сторону… И там заткнись. А я себя без твоей помощи истолкую.
Евгений Клюев, Между двух стульев
