Dissenting View

"The Saturn Game."

To understand why Minamoto presents a dissenting view, we need to reread the extracts from his minority report to see what he argues against. He says:

there should be no accusations;

no one was negligent or foolish;

the people in question struggled admirably against disaster when they understand their situation;

perhaps no saner response was possible for them;

psychodrama should not be condemned;

adult psychodrama has become so unpopular that it might become extinct which would be a worse tragedy;

psychodrama has been entirely beneficial on Earth and in space;

the modern lack of experience of madness was the root of the problem;

no one blames explorers for miscalculations about the environment - the implication being that there should also be no blame for psychological miscalculations.

We may infer that the majority report says everything that Minamoto disagrees with.
