  Even though all commentators agree on the importance of these two papers, there is still disagreement about what Boltzmann's claims actually were, and whether he succeeded (or indeed even attempted) in avoiding the reversibility objection in this new combinatorial argument, whether he intended or succeeded to prove that most evolutions go from less probable to more probable states and whether or not he (implicitly) relied on the ergodic hypothesis in these works. I shall comment on these issues in due course. (See Uffink (2007) for a more detailed overview.)
