Abstract

David Avnir et al. (Science's Compass, 2 Jan., p. 39) report on the high proportion of hasty claims of fractality in Physical Review journals and end by saying that “[t]his is the fractal geometry of nature.” When assessing a field, other authors might not dwell so much on the statistics of implied and possible failures, but on the variety and quality of the best work. In the case of fractal geometry, it is outstanding.
