I quote something I wrote in another thread. As regards Lennon and
McCartney, I think they and the other Beatles did their best work
together. In a similar way, Jagger and Richards have given us together
what I am sure they could not have done separately, some stunning
lyrics and associated music, and almost certainly they could not have
done it without the Rolling Stones! AxBxC... - not A+B+C... - a product
rather than a simple sum.

'Bertrand Russell was a logician. What he meant was a bit ironic, I
suppose. The atheist was obsessesively preoccupied with the Christain's
claims! He felt, I think, that they needed each other, but that he
himself needed neither of them!  As regards the age of the earth, so
long as pointer readings continue to work reliably (Rutherford), it
does not matter if the universe is creating itself constantly to agree
with our readings. If your aunt has the illusion she took tea at the
Ritz last Friday and you know for sure the universe did not then exist,
either you or she ought to be locked up - unless you understand
Russell's sense of fun!'  [And John's sense of fun! Ed.]
