It's a good, sensible paper. However, it contains the assertion:
"As 1997 begins, we've seen several virus alerts. None of them were
real. And all of them were probably driven by a previously unwritten
law of human nature. This newly-discovered theory explains how ideas
are able to travel faster than the speed of thought."
Actually it was not a new theory in 1997. Richard Dawkins coined the term
"meme" for a self-replicating idea over 20 years ago in his book "the
Selfish Gene". Internet virus hoaxes are excellent examples of memes.
