I will send a link to my Nature colleague Henry Gee, currently Editor of Mallorn, the Tokein society magazine, as he is calling for articles for the next issue just now. You might like to work this up into a piece for him? Interesting reading, which I enjoyed very much.

I wrote a paper adjacent to this subject, which is available <a>here</a>. Given your post, it might be of interest.
