The Interpretation of Liability Increased Limits Statistics [Discussion]

In reviewing a paper one must determine at the very outset what the author’s primary purpose was in writing the paper. Having ascertained the goal, we are then in a better position to make the determination of whether or not it was attained. It would appear from Mr. Lange’s comments that he wishes us to view his paper as a philosophical discussion rather than something definitive and susceptible of rigorous analysis. On reading the paper it is well to keep this fundamental thought in mind since statements are made throughout the paper which implicitly call for further explanation or in themselves raise further questions. In another context this could be a basis for criticism; however, the author’s hypothesis gives him a wide latitude in this regard.
