[FRIAM] labels

[Frank Wimberly]

I accept the compliment.  Add that to Nick calling me a Cartesian and John
Baez calling me a logician and I feel that I've made it.

In Baez's book, Gauge Fields, Knots and Gravity, he says that 1x1 real
matrices are real numbers.  When I explained to him why that isn't true he
said, "Only logicians care about that."
