| Close observation of George Hennemann's thyrostat reveals that his working point moved towards a very high production rather early in his scientific career. Remarkably, he somehow managed to maintain his output at such a high level for 30 years, without any signs indicating a downward shift in his setpoint with advancing age. His setpoint must be pretty high as well, obviously driven by a strong command signal coming from his own brains and reinforced by input from his dear wife Atie and their children. Apparently the setpoint is determined by genetic and environmental factors. |
