Futher copyediting on the apendices
In the discussion on criteria that Popper lacks, the last mentioned
criteria "including the narrative" is written in such a way that can
confuse readers into thinking that only a single criteria is
lacking. Hyphenating ('including-the-narrative') has been applied to make
the sentence less likely to be misunderstood.
The ending of the first paragraph in the "Generational gaps" item in
Appendix A.G ("... every few years is not practically possible.") sounds
like "not almost possible". So it can cause confusions. Endings that are
much clearer include:
* is impractical.
* is not possible in practice.
* is not practical.
* is not possible practically.
[meaning 2. is less likely in this case]
I've selected the first option, also replacing "they" by "scientists" to
avoid the misinterpretation that "programming languages ... have their own
science field to focus on".
This commit and the previous one were "amended" by Mohammad (compared to
the original commits that Boud had sent).
