Everybody knew everything
Distance was not a problem
There is no coincidence

Uh, What?

The presence of say how to determine the summer solstice in all these places was not coincidence.

"hat’s one reason we have seven chapters of windup—setting up the dots—before the pitch in chapter 8. To connect those dots, I fol- low three principles:

(1) Everyone knew everything!

(2) No coincidences! and

(3) Distances can be dealt with.

I err in many ways, I’m sure, but I err consistently in those three directions."
