HH: "Very short, very light, an idea that came to me fullblown and that was written in one sitting. I titled it 'If' and sent it to Fred Pohl, then editor of If. Fred ignored my presumption and bought the story for If - and instantly changed the title to 'Praiseworthy Saur.' If he thought little for my title I thought even less of his and instantly changed it back to the original as soon as I could."
