[Lnc-business] adopting the convention minutes

[Daniel Wiener]

Alicia,

I noticed that on page 43 of the minutes, the following paragraph lacks an
internal sentence stating that the chair ruled against Mr. Moellman's point
of order:

Ken Moellman raised a point of order that candidates receiving less than a
majority are
not to be elected, thus the coin toss decision making process was not in
order. (Since the
requirement of a majority for election is in Convention Rule 8.2, rather
than in the
Bylaws, and the motion was to suspend the rules, see RONR 11th ed., p. 17,
lines 19-22.)

*"In general, we look for a new law by the following process. First, we
guess it (audience laughter), no, don’t laugh, that’s the truth. Then we
compute the consequences of the guess, to see what, if this is right, if
this law we guess is right, to see what it would imply and then we compare
the computation results to nature or we say compare to experiment or
experience, compare it directly with observations to see if it works. If it
disagrees with experiment, it’s WRONG. In that simple statement is the key
to science. It doesn’t make any difference how beautiful your guess is, it
doesn’t matter how smart you are, who made the guess, or what his name is.
If it disagrees with experiment, it’s wrong. That’s all there is to it.”*
