Ben, Gary F., Jerry, Kirsti, and All,

I suspect that Peirce is criticizing Euclid's excess of moderation,
not because it makes him any less admirable as a model practitioner,
teaching as he does the logica utens of mathematics in the medium of
paradigmatic examples, but because this style of teaching falls short
of coordinating logic in practice and logic in theory in a thoroughly
articulate reflective practice.  Supplying that lack is probably what
Peirce is about in his logical groundbreaking for the Kaina Stoicheia.

Regards,

Jon
