M.C.compt. & C. of A.
We have seen that the M.G.P. is not a good one for our kind of work. It is too slow and we are unable to get anything out of it except what may be due to chance.
Our present methods are not satisfactory. We must try something else if we want to make progress in this field. The only way I can see is to use the M.G.P. as a basis for our work, but with some modifications. This will require more time and effort than we have had so far, but it seems to be the best way forward.
We must also consider whether or not the M.G.P. is suitable for our particular problem. If it is not, then we need to find another method altogether. But if it is, then we should proceed with caution and make sure that we understand exactly what we are doing before we start.
