Nothing like a little George Will action to draw traffic to one’s wonky disquisitions. The Myth of the 1970s Global Cooling Consensus remains number 1 on the AMS web site for the second month in a row, edging out such big hits as “A Surrogate Ensemble Study of Climate Reconstruction Methods: Stochasticity and Robustness,” and “Deterministic Nonperiodic Flow.”

A few thoughts from John Fleck, a writer of journalism and other things, living in New Mexico
You’re beating out something with the word “stochasticity” in it! That word has always intimidated me like cops and really tall buildings. I dream of a day when I can put the word “stochasiticity” in the title of something I write and actually have it accurately reflect what is inside the piece.
And you’re above that! And brushing “Deterministic” aside as well!
P.S.: The little spell checker for comments is also freaked-out by stochasticity. It’s little red line segment under the word just adds to the word’s monolithic intimidation.
