    Derek: No, I don't even know if the famous quotation is real or apocryphal.

    As to progress on the internal/external debate, my stuff over the past few years has moved into tackling the internalist stance by - a) showing computationally that one specific internalist hypothesis is untenable: http://jom-emit.cfpm.org/2001/vol4/gatherer_d.html b) showing computationally that a general internalist theoretical plank is unlikely: http://jom-emit.cfpm.org/2002/vol6/gatherer_d.html c) showing how one can make deductions concerning social contagion using purely observable data aligned to computational models, so internalist theoretical foundations are unnecessary: http://jasss.soc.surrey.ac.uk/5/4/5.html
