Hi Michael,

Changing master to primary was my first inclination, but I saw that we 
have 8 masters and 4 primaries here. So maybe we should have another 
consistency patch (that probably goes beyond this chapter). I can 
prepare one if you like.

P.S. I'm not particularly happy about this paragraph either, but that's 
as far as I could get without twisting the original ideas.
