Yes, that is correct.  But it&#x27;s not to say that it&#x27;s not what the professor would like.  In the age of the internet (as is mentioned in the article) it seems pointless that in order for a specialist in my field to read my &quot;magnum opus&quot; you must fly out to some obscure state University and hope that (a) the University will allow them to check out the book being that they&#x27;re not a member of that University, and (b) they think it&#x27;s important enough to do so.<p>Perhaps it was missed, but the article was written by a professor.  The point isn&#x27;t that all humans in the world would be able to comprehend (or even care) about the contents of the book.  The point is that they should have access to it, and the professor (who supposedly cares deeply about what he&#x2F;she studies &#x2F; writes about) should want all humans in the world to have easy access to it).  Something that is easy to achieve, but apparently not happening.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Srinivasa_Ramanujan" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Srinivasa_Ramanujan</a><p>Imagine where academics could be if, for example, people like Ramanujan had access early in their career to all of the most important ideas in their field of interest.<p>The more obscure an idea or field of study, the harder it&#x27;s going to be to get it into the right hands.
