Dear Dr. Witschel:
I'm sorry that I don't have time to do a proper job of comparing
Bibel and Fischer. I know Bibel, and I don't know Fischer. I have been
impressed with the variety of topics Bibel works on and with his
independence of mind. I am impressed with his work on connection graphs,
because I think this is the way to go in theorem proving, and also with
his approach to formalizing common sense knowledge.
I can't give a more precise evaluation of his
work, because I find much of it technically rather difficult,
especially the connection graph work,
compared to the level of my own connection with the topic.
\closing
Sincerely,
John McCarthy
