Unfortunately he neglected to write down how much a hemina of wine actually was. The consequence of not defining this term was 1500 years of heated theological debate in the Benedictine order. It was a salutary lesson in being careful to provide a reasonable definition of any lofty goals which might end up as policy. Nick
