Abstract
This paper accurately presents Don Williamson’s lectures at Boston University and later given at the Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory. To experts who were present, Don’s hypothesis was far-fetched, if not simply outrageous. This incredulous reception was well-expected, since the original theoretical paper published in Progress in Oceanography [19: 87–116, 1988] had been rejected by eight other journals.
