I happen to have started reading Varieties of Religious Experience within the last hour. Is this title a nod to that book or is it just a coincidence (or coinkydink as my mom says)?

I wouldn't be surprised if it is, article is a nice blend of philosophical and pragmatic. Though there are also several different mathematical objects called varieties (oddly enough algebraic varieties are completely different from varieties of algebras)

The analogy is a bit stretched, but I think it's due to both being described by systems of equations, in a sense.
