The reader may note that I make reference to both Real Time and The Facts of Causation, which were written ten years apart, and may object that I am therefore not entitled to assume that Mellor holds the same views in each account. However, Mellor, in correspondence, has commented 'there are several views in Real Time I no longer hold ... but it doesn't make much odds to my arguments, and especially not to those about how we perceive temporal order'
