Notes
Shorter pieces, revisions and things that did not fit anywhere else. All of it written and signed by one person.
Three fair objections, and one bad one
The strongest arguments against holistic cuisine are not the ones usually made. A note on which criticisms survive contact with the food.
Note — on drinkingWhy the alcohol-free flight costs the same
Pricing a non-alcoholic programme level with wine is a position, not an accident. What it says about how the drinks are built.
Note — on demandThe economics of a room nobody can get into
What happens around a restaurant when supply is fixed and demand is not, and why offers from strangers are a trap.
Note — on roomsThe dome is not a screen
Projection above you behaves like weather. A short piece on why that changes how food tastes.
Note — on moneyCritique from an expensive room
The tension between the price and the politics is the subject, not a flaw in it. Working through the argument properly.
Note — on timingSeptember is the answer
Clear air, fewer people, better odds on the calendar. Why the shoulder season beat summer for this particular trip.
