O RECENZIJAH 
Razumljivo Je, da so recenzije o istem delu 
lahko nekoliko različne, pač odvisno od 
recenzentovega natančnega vpogleda v področje, 
ki ga recenzira, od njegove osebnosti, pa tudi 
od njegovega trenutnega razpoloženja. Težje pa 
razumemo bistveno različnost recenzij istega 
dela. Kot primer bi nanizal recenzijo 
prispevka, ki Je bil poslan na jugoslovanski 
mednarodni simpozij (priloga 1) in odgovor 
urednika ameriške revije (priloga 2), kamor Je 
bil poslan isti prispevek v prevedeni obliki. 
Sodbo o enakosti vsebin recenzije in odgovora 
si ob branju ustvarite sami,

D. ftko se rad ne prllu/aia, niollmo obrazIoSenJe za autora: 
Uvod, zaključek in priložene tri slike dajejo vtis nekakšne 
potegavščine, katere smisel pri najboljši volji nisem mogel 
dojeti. Mislim da bi vodstvo aimpozbija moralo odločno 
protestirati pri avtorjevi delovni organizaciji, oziroma 
opozoriti to organizacijo, da ji njeni člani rušijo strokovni 
ugled.

A SHORT COMMENT TO ENGLISH READERS 
The upper Enclosure 1 (priloga 1) is a Slovene 
referee's report to the program committee of a 
Yugoslav Computer conference. This Enclosure 
has to be compared to Enclosure 2 (priloga 2) 
which is the editor's of SIGMALLS/PC Notes 
opinion on the same paper, The English 
translation of Enclosure 1 is the following: 
D. If the paper is not accepted we would like 
to have an explanation with arguraents for the 
author: 
The introduction, conclusion, and the three 
drawings enclosed gi ve the impreaaion of a kind 
of fraud, which to niy best will, I could not 
coaprehend. I think that the committee of the 
sjnaposium must resolutely express a protest at 
the author'3 working organization or let this 
organizfition know that its employees destroy 
its professional reputation. 
(The translator regrets the inoonvenient 
diction' of the translation of the Slovene 
original into English which is typical for the 
herostratic style of the referee's opinion. By 
this diction the spirits of the referee's 
opinion remains true.) APZ 
SE O RECENZIJAH 
A. P. Zeleznikar, Iskra Delta 
Ker gre v prispevku "O recenzijah", v katerem 
je priloženo tudi dokazno gradivo, za značilno 
domačo afero, naj mi bo dovoljeno, da dodam 
svoje skromno mnenje kar v domačem jeziku. 
Takoj na začetku ponavljam vprašanja o histeri­
čnem pamfletiranju, rotenju, zaklinjanju, 
herostratstvu oziroma o motivativnih konfliktih 
starejše generacije, ki sem jih načel v [1]. 
Kako se obraniti teh strastnih in čustvenih (in 
mestoma že kar sovražnih) izlivov in njihove 
škodljivosti pri prodiranju novih akterjev 
oziroma njihovih izvirnih dosežkov na domačih 
prizoriščih v okviru izrazite znanstvene 
subkulturnosti? Ali bomo morali začeti resneje 
in konkretneje postavljati vprašanja, kdo so ti 
naši, nam neznani avtoritativni usmerjevalci v 
znanosti, ki povzročajo zaradi svoje preživele 
strokovnosti blokade tam, kjer jih domala nihče 
več ne pričakuje. Kot da smo priča nekemu 
razvojnemu rasizmu, ki nam omejuje in 
predpisuje spontan in s svetom usklajen razvoj 
domače znanstvene misli. Seveda nikakor ne 
trdim, da so pojavi recenzentskega rasizma 
prisotni samo na področju računalništva in 
informatike, zasledimo jih lahko tudi pri 
fizikih, zlasti v segmentih intenzivnega in 
filozofsko pogojenega znanstvenega razvoja. 
Upam seveda, da gre v primeru navedene 
recenzije res za osamljen pojav, katerega 
nosilec in izvajalec ima v širšem 
jugoslovanskem okolju le obrobni (slovensko
