This page collects assessments of LLoL's work by others. As of now,
there is one: a candid evaluation by a close mentor that remains
strikingly accurate years later.


Millard Susman (2017)
========================

In March 2017, Professor Millard Susman wrote a two-page assessment of
Laurence Loewe addressed to Professor John Doebley. The letter is
reproduced in the
`Ketubah document (pp. 358--359)
</en/_file/pdf/gnp/mmv3/extra-good-news/ketubah-wager-by-llol-for-yah-yas-iv_llol_ppv2r22p3_2025m11d15-2026m02d25-for-mmv2-360page.pdf>`_
(Fig. K17).

Key observations:

   "My overall impression of Laurence is that he is totally immersed in
   his research work, extremely hard-working, exceptionally well-read,
   and admirably original and creative."

   "Laurence has problems with focus. He seems to be unable to write a
   short story; everything turns into a novel --- or perhaps a trilogy."

   "On the whole, Laurence seems to me a remarkably gifted person who
   has much to contribute... He does, however, have to find an effective
   way to deliver his contribution."

This assessment, written before the five-year research marathon that
produced Balospe.com, is still quite accurate (see length of this
site). The ResearchCity vision and the call for
:doc:`buy-in </buy-in/index>` are LLoL's reply to Susman's challenge to
"find an effective way to deliver his contribution" and to "make progress
on grant funding."

.. TODO AA: Add more testimonials as they become available.
