1. There is a discrepancy here between Dubiel's NECMT
paper, and that paper as published in MTO 6.3. In [Dubiel
12] we read "The received view isn't even antithetical to these
experiences . . . ," whereas in the corresponding location in the NECMT
paper he writes: "The received theory isn't antithetical to these
experiences. . . . " I would not mention this rather trivial discrepancy
were it not that Prof. Dubiel so vehemently denies having used the expression
"received theory," asserting that ". . . what I call the
'received view' in my talk . . . is the *only* thing I ever call
'received'" [2.5].

2. The first definition of "received" given
by the Oxford English Dictionary is: "Generally adopted, accepted,
approved as true or good." I believe that Prof. Dubiel uses the term in a
mildly sardonic way, but I could be wrong.
