The foundation didn't have a crystal ball, only their wits and the occasional message. Whether it was predicted before or not is irrelevant. The message in the way they did things is the same and just as strong.

How about it just suggesting that he took his secrecy oath seriously...which is a vastly simpler explanation than inventing some mythical embarrassment? My point isn't that he wouldn't talk about it, but rather that he was working on weapons systems while writing the series, which casts some doubt on this "Asimov was a pacifist" theory of yours. Henlein was just as stubborn about not talking about his work there, and I can promise you he had no qualms about the work he was doing.

I'm still waiting for Urbane to get back to me.
Nah no spellcheck, they tend to be american spelling which annoys the hell out of me.
I'm just marginally more alert. In the middle of a batch of english pieces which helps too. It's generally not so much an issue of spelling (although ill admit mine is nowhere near as good as it should be) as typing.
