Everett Wheeler seems to have invented the word "Lehnstuhlfeldherr" just so he could throw it at me in his obscenely nasty review of my bookhttps://twitter.com/NatalieZed/status/1391150397922889739 …

define "demo out"
Provide a demonstration version. I used the course's term paper to show my method in a more limited format (just Romans and Macedonians, just heavy infantry kit) to show the method could work and get response.

Wheeler was, as I recall, very skeptical that the evidence existed to apply the method. On this point, I think I largely convinced him by the end that sufficient evidence existed. He remained unconvinced the effort was worth doing in the sense of leading to a bigger conclusion.

Which is why the dissertation itself put more emphasis on what the cost-and-materials analysis could tell us in terms of the causes of Roman success, mobilization systems, etc. So, very helpful feedback...just very, ah, directly...delivered.

Ah yes. Thats right. You actually took that course. And I'm sure his advice was quite direct. His advice to me for my undergrad honors thesis on Greek warfare was similarly direct. And helpful.

The most direct advice I got in graduate school was generally from either Everett or you, and it was often the most helpful advice as well.
