  13. Pre-molecular genetics might be a good analog of what I suspect will
  14. be the relationship between linguistics and `core' PCT for some time
  15. to come.  People knew quite a lot of useful things about genes,
  16. without knowing exactly what they were.  This knowledge was genuinely
  17. scientific, and essential to identifying them correctly, but of course
  18. things were much better when people actually knew what genetic
  19. material was.
