I guess Watson can be a stubborn guy, but on the other hand, if he
wasn't, he probably wouldn't have been the type-o person to write
White Knight anyway.

I also think the whole idea of people (in this case RRE) making a living
off of royalties to a couple of words is pretty lame... what work
do they do for a living???

Well anyway, i just thought i might mention that in the latest
version of WK (11.04), if you check out the "About..." box, you'll
see that Scott dedicated this version to the people of RRE. Relations
between Watson and RRE probably had changed much since articles in
MacWeek.
