In my review
http://www.computer.org/csdl/mags/an/2014/01/man2014010069.pdf
I suggested that Knuth's view of history writing was among several topics
suggested by the booklet that would be interesting discussion topics in a
course where the students are just beginning to consider the issues in
writing history.
I believe our current discussion tends to confirm my assessment.
