    There's a big problem here: I didn't write that paper. Michael Huemer
    did. If you do want to see papers I wrote, check out my site -- not
    his.:) (However, I freely confess, the quality of my work is a lot
    lower than his and I don't touch on this issue.)

    I'll try to answer your comments later today -- though as me not the
    author of the paper.:)

    Cheers!
