The _Footfall_ aliens could very well have made what seem to us to be
ignorant assumptions, such as assuming that we come in herd as they
do.  Is this going to be a mini-spoiler?

They did not evolve their own science (either physical or social).
Rather, they "inherited" it (more details, more spoiler?) from another
race.  They did not really understand it as well as if they had
developed it themselves.

A New Topic:

A while back, this group was working on putting together a list of the
names used in _The_Flying_Sorcerers_.  Perhaps it is my own ignorance,
but I could not figure out a few of the Dreamer Fithp members.  In
fact, the only ones I was SURE of were Robert and Virginia.  (I could
guess "Speaker to Seafood", I think).  What about it?  Help?
