How should we evaluate tools for thought? There's no simple metric, as far as I can tell. The best tools change your paradigm anyway, so your old metrics (books printed per year?) aren't what matter. Here's one (vague, but focusing): how much meaning is unlocked on the margin?

One can find dimensions along which transformative Tools for Thought (TfT) are *significantly* better. For example, Mathematica's (i) documentation has 10x the reach, (ii) its code is 2x-10x more concise, and (iii) its conceptual reach is 2x-10x broader than the "competition".
