37. White, S. (1997), private communication. I have used here and elsewhere in the essay the contrast between smiles and physico-chemical 'things' in order to highlight the inappropriateness of the standards of evidence for testing 'empirical' hypotheses about smiles. This contrast was suggested to me by Professor White in a recent conversation.
