Like a lot of writers and commenters I follow on Substack and elsewhere, he has a lot of knowledge about a lot of things that I do not. But the mark of a *good* writer to me (and the mind behind the writing) is that, more often than not, when this situation arises, I can follow along - even with an occasional pronounced limp, which a few minutes with Google can often cure sufficiently to hobble to the end with at least the satisfaction of having learned something new, and the added bonus of having found it interesting to do so.
