Somewhat tangentially, from Dennett's review of Lucas' "The Freedom of the Will"

"He obtains some of his pet conclusions by patent non sequiturs, aided by a great deal of hand waving, and not a few elementary logical confusions and slips (e.g., pp. 39, 61, 72, MO). But he gives us a splendid display of his command of Latin, Greek, and Middle English, and, except for failing to give any reference for a crucial argument of Wolfgang Pauli's that he mentions (p. 112), his footnotes are erudite."
