Mike Champion scripsit:
> Objective considerations [...]
Ivor Brown was of opinion that "success or failure" was too definite
and meaty, and he out-Orwelled Orwell as follows:
# Objective consideration of contemporary phenomena compel the conclusion
# that optimum or inadequate performance in the trend of competitive
# activities exhibits no tendency to be commensurate with innate capacity,
# but that a considerable element of the unpredictable must invariably be
# taken into account."
