I am surprised and puzzled by the absence of
published comment on the proposal by Molyneux
(1) to introduce logarithms of dimensioned quantities. It is not clear whether
Journal readers (a) find no objection to this proposal, or (b)
find the proposal so outlandish as to be unworthy of comment.
My own view is the latterexcept that I believe that
a strong objection to this proposal should be on record in
the Journal, and that readers should be reminded that the
proper way to handle the problem that Molyneux purports to
solve was published in this Journal almost 40 years ago
(2, 3).
