Like many other things, doing mathematics may be just a question of working hard and staying power. I complained to Peter “I still do not have good command of the stuff. Your answer shows that I was wrong I one case. I have to work some more.” He responds “It definitely takes a while to get into it. I worked on section 11 for many months, maybe more than a year. But the last time I worked on it was before I retired (3 years ago), and probably 4 or 5 years ago!” And having collaborators helps, some thing I discovered at the age of 53 or so. I will be 80 this June.
