Nakamura thanks Maclaren:
"'...do you remember how disorganised and noisy we were at first, and how we have grown so quiet since and work together so well? It is your doing. The highest interhuman art is to make it possible for others to use their arts.'" (p. 111)
An earlier post with the same title as this one summarizes how Poul Anderson makes this same point both in The Man Who Counts and in Tau Zero. See also here.
There might come a time when I have found every interesting interconnection between works by Poul Anderson but that time is not yet. Nor will I finish rereading The Enemy Stars this evening but tomorrow beckons.

Kaor, Paul!
Hmmmmmm, so the "man who counts" in THE ENEMY STARS was Terangi Maclaren? An interesting point I never thought of before. I am definitely rereading that book after THE BYWORLDER.
