In "Matheronian Geostatistics - Quo Vadis?", a manuscript received by Mathematical Geology on May 20, 1985 and accepted for publication on the same day (!), G M Philip and D F Watson express misgivings about geostatistics in general and the alleged benefits of kriging in particular but did not present a theory to prove that kriging only multiplies information and creates illusions of order in chaotic domains.
