Abstract: Abstract In 1773, James Boswell took Samuel Johnson to Edinburgh, to show off his home city. They wandered down one of those narrow old Georgian alleys, just a couple of metres wide when they looked up and saw two women leaning out of their windows shouting angrily at one another, waving their brooms across the alley. Dr Johnson pointed at the women: ‘Those two women will never agree’, said the great man, ‘because they are arguing from different premises.’
