Sir,--Your front-page headline reads: “Committee ‘more muddled’ after evidence from Watt” (News, April 20th).
In Samuel Beckett’s novel Watt, a character appears before a committee defending certain matters with regard to his dissertation on The Mathematical Intuitions of the Visicelts. He is examined for 24 pages by the committee who look on mystified by what is said to them. But of course Beckett is regarded by many as a master of the absurd. It could never really happen. – Yours, etc,
