The following correction will help establish more clearly and fully the ways in which I drew on Matteo Collodel’s work in the composition of this paper. We were researching similar topics and I was acquainted with Dr. Collodel’s achievements as I participated in the event in which he presented them publicly and he was so kind to share them with me in private. It is my fault that I did not ask Dr. Collodel’s permission to use and disseminate in print unpublished results of his research before submitting or publishing this paper, thereby also losing the chance to make these amendments in the original publication.

The full reference to Matteo Collodel’s work is:

Unpublished paper presented at the conference Feyerabend 2015: Forty Years ‘Against Method’, Durham University, July 15, 2015. https://www.academia.edu/13706500/Flippant_Anarchism_Feyerabend_and_the_Student_Movement.

I would like give reference to this work in the following notes in my article:
