  1. The implied comparison/contrast between L1 and Ls 2&3 is fresh and thought-provoking.

    There is no such "regulating device for marital relationships" (even in the SciFi World) to sense the temperature of /heat in one's marriage and perform actions so that one's married life is maintained near a "desired setpoint."
