在 INTRODUCTION 一文(兩頁多一點)中
有一段
...Moreover --how are you going to keep these bad numbers from happening again? How are you going to get the workers to work harder? "And Pharaoh said, You are lazy! You will be given no straw, but you must produce the same tally of bricks each gay.' " ...

這段話引{聖經舊約 "出埃及記"第五章}的典故
不過似乎可以作為紅珠實驗的工頭之說詞

我引{思稿高本聖經} 說明如下

⁵法郎又說：「現在他們比本地的人民還多，你們竟然叫他們歇工？」⁵And Pharao said: The people of the land is numerous: you see that the multitude is increased: how much more if you give them rest from their works?⁶那一天法郎命令那些百姓中的監工和工頭說：⁶Therefore he commanded the same day the overseers of the works, and the taskmasters of the people, saying:⁷「你們以後不要再像往日一樣，給百姓做磚用的草稭，叫他們自己去拾草。⁷You shall give straw no more to the people to make brick, as before: but let them go and gather straw.⁸但你們仍向他們要往日所做的同樣磚數，一點也不可減少，因為他們懶惰，所以才吶喊說：我們要去向我們的天主獻祭。⁸And you shall lay upon them the task of bricks, which they did before, neither shall you diminish any thing thereof: for they are idle, and therefore they cry, saying: Let us go and sacrifice to our God.

出谷紀:Chapter 5

Exodus 5 [KJV] 6-7

· And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,

· Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.

· And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish ought thereof: for they be idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
